Thankfully, even the NYT staff took it easy on all of us today with the Connections puzzle. I started the puzzle with the Green category. If you follow this series enough, you already know how much I like to read, so solving this was as easy as pie.
I moved on to the Yellow category and figured it out quickly enough. While this category might have been supposed to be difficult, these were common word associations. I solved the Blue section with the same level of ease and without much difficulty.
Finally, there were only four words left in the puzzle. I got them all together, got the Purple category, and with that, the NYT Connections puzzle for December 26.
