The Connections puzzle for June 20 loved to mess with my hair and fishing gear alike. But my journey began with the Yellow category instead as I knew most of these words. While I haven’t really fished in my life, the Green category also came naturally to me.
The Blue category itself was solved due to my past life as a hairstylist. With all done, I got the Purple category after combining the last four words along with the Connections puzzle for 20th June.
Weird combination but if you get it, you get it. We do hope the answers above helped you solve the Connections puzzle for June 20.
