The NYT Connections puzzle today had me feeling poor as I began solving the Yellow category by using all the words that I’m not. I then moved on to the Green category, and even though I’m not that into cooking, I was able to identify all the words easily.
I had a nice stroke of luck as I ended up solving the Purple category first. I was initially confused about the word Leachy but once I connected it with the other fruits, I had it in the bag.
Finally, as always, four words remained. I connected them all together, along with the NYT Connections puzzle for May 19!
