The NYT Connections for July 20 was an effortless solve which thankfully coincided with the Yellow category. I then moved on to the Blue category and I actually thought all the words meant power for the human spirit. But I suppose a battery is close enough.
The Green category came next with simple enough words to get. I don’t know why I was about to put Dad here too since it just seemed fitting.
With all that done, I combined the last four words together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for July 20.
