The NYT Connections puzzle for August 1 loved to go into categories that promote and bookstore for some reason. I began with the Yellow category and as someone who loved The Wolf of Wolf Street solved it immediately.
The Green category came next and I had little idea why they chose these words. The Blue category came next and I think you already know I am an avid reader. So getting these words was easy as pie.
The Purple category was the only left. I combined them all together to get it along with the NYT Connections puzzle for August 1.
