The NYT Connections puzzle for August 7 was a fairly easy ride compared to the last few puzzles before. I began my morning with the Yellow category and jam-packed the words into it before I got confused.
The Green category came next and while I did confuse Dishwasher with Microwave, realized it was related to food terms and solved it. The Blue category on the other hand was a dead giveaway after a while since I finally connected Microwave and X-Ray together.
With all that done, I ended up combining the remaining words to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for August 7.
