The Connections puzzle for June 22 loved sausages and golf clubs alike. I began with the Yellow category and after connecting Train and Chain together, had it in the bag. While I haven’t golfed a day in my life, I knew Iron and Wedge. After that, it was only a matter of Googling.
The Blue category itself was a head-scratcher so I employed the help of my co-workers. They were more knowledgeable about horror movies than me so I just gave up and handed them the laptop.
With that done, we combined the last four words together to get the Purple category and the Connections game for June 22.
