Today’s NYT Connections was, again, quite an easy one to solve, actually. I began by getting the Yellow category out of the way. I own two pairs of Crocs myself and find them quite comfy. So, I ended up getting this one easily, too.
I then moved to the Blue category first. I had help from a friend of mine who is literally in this profession. He pointed all the languages out in a second. Green came next and was generic to solve with everything feathers.
With only four words, I combined them all together and got the Purple category and the NYT Connections for February 16.
