Connections, newest NYT game (Part 1)

Yellow and green were easy. I wouldn’t have figured out the specific sub-theme for blue.

My husband and I just discovered that our puzzles were similar, but we had completely different categories for blue and one of the words in yellow and one in purple were different from each other. Both say #165. Just wondering if anyone else has had that happen.

The only one I was sure of was yellow. The others were mostly luck.:slightly_frowning_face:

Needed purple to get blue; had no idea of blue’s sub group.

Was not familiar with the word use for one of the yellow ones…thought it was a very different definition

I think all of the yellows could have different definitions!
