Yeah, exactly. I think the idea is that the red herring might be a legit connection, but you won't be able to solve any other connections if you keep it.

    I guess if it overlaps with every other category then you only have to find a second one to prove it was a red herring, which makes it feel less unfair. But to me it still doesn't feel like I'm playing the game wrong by finding a clear connection and submitting it to take it off the board...

    I guess the designers or people who make the puzzle for each day disagree
