Here’s another tough Connections puzzle to test your wits – prepare to be both intrigued and possibly exasperated by its complexity.
Some groups were more straightforward today. I immediately recognized the connection in the yellow category as I work with Photoshop regularly. The green group, relating to golf items, was trickier for me as I initially misplaced some words like BALL, FILTER, and TANK. I eventually cracked it, leaving only the blue and purple categories.
The purple group, focusing on logos with horses, posed a significant challenge. I wasn’t familiar with brands like GODIVA or COACH, but by realizing their equine association, along with MUSTANG and POLO, I managed to solve it through a mix of trial and guesswork.
Lastly, the blue group, centered on aquarium purchases, also proved difficult, but I eventually figured it out with one guess left. Quite a relief!
