Today’s NYT Connections puzzle was a musical and cinematic journey for me. I began by quickly solving the Blue category first. Truth be told, this was hardly a surprise as I absolutely love Joaquin Phoenix. I then moved on to the Yellow category, and seeing as I’m such a hotshot, I quickly solved this one, too.
While I have fixed enough flats in my life, I had never heard the word Chock before. I guess that’s also used to fix tires. In any case, I had four words left, as usual. I got them all together, along with the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for May 2.
