The Connections puzzle for June 21 took a deep dive into some very detailed categories. I started out with the Yellow section and as someone who wants to go to Disney Park, I had these solved quickly. The Green category came next and being as generic it got it to me quickly.
The Blue category itself while not easy took some Googling to solve. However, once I knew it was a rags-to-riches tale, I had solved it.
With that done, I combined the last four words together to get the Purple category and the Connections game for June 21.
