While I had horrible luck with yesterday’s Connections game, today was much better. I began by solving the Green category and while one would have thought it difficult, it was quite easy. The Yellow category was actually a bit more difficult than the previous one as I had forgotten what Spitball meant.
The Blue category itself was one tasty treat and to be honest, I was very hungry while solving it which made getting it even quicker.
As always there were only four words left. I got them all together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections for July 3.
