The answers to today’s Connections, game #426, are…

  • YELLOW: THINGS THAT ARE RED DEVIL, MARS, ROSE, STRAWBERRY
  • GREEN: BE IN COMMISSION FUNCTION, OPERATE, RUN, WORK
  • BLUE: MICROSOFT PRODUCTS EDGE, OFFICE, TEAMS, WINDOWS
  • PURPLE: BIOPICS BLONDE, JOBS, MILK, VICE

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

This edition of Connections was quite challenging, with one group that stumped me completely, and a couple of others that required some serious thought.

The ‘biopics’ group in purple was particularly tricky for me. In hindsight, I may have heard of a few of them, but connecting them together would have been a stretch. Fortunately, I was able to figure out the other groups, although it did take some time to realize that MARS, ROSE, STRAWBERRY, and DEVIL all fall under ‘things that are red’. Surprisingly, this was supposed to be the easier yellow group, but it took me a good 5 minutes to make the connection!
