Today’s Connections puzzle has two very funny categories. The blue group relates to an animated TV show I know you’ve heard of (and honestly, this should have been the yellow category, for reasons that will become obvious). And the purple category is one of those “there are only four possible words that could work” groups that the New York Times loves to spring on us. Read on for clues and today’s Connections answers.
The Times now has a Connections Bot, like the one for Wordle. Go there after you play to receive a numeric score and to have the program analyze your answers. And players who are registered with the Times Games section can now nerd out by following their progress, including number of puzzles completed, win rate, number of times they nabbed a perfect score and their win streak.
