It was the NYT Connections puzzle today that taught me a few things about animals and words alike. I began with the Yellow category and as a voracious reader myself, had no trouble solving it. The Green category, however, took a lot of Googling and thinking as I had no idea the last two words were cat patterns.
The Blue category came easy except Willy which I randomly guessed later on.
With only four words left, I got them all together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for July 28.
