I had an inkling that today’s NYT Connections would be New Year-related. However, there was no such luck. Nonetheless, I began my journey by solving the Yellow category quite easily as it was gardening-related. The green category came next with a healthy mention of salads.
The only reason I got the Purple category was because I combined all the words starting with W. Nonetheless, I’m happy I did.
I finally had four words left. I combined them all with the Blue category and got the NYT Connections for January 1.
