NYT's Connections

[Hawkfan_08]

Think shoes. Think fabrics.

I did, I got those two. The others I'm stuck on. I'll get it... or not.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Yikes. Got it.

Almost fell for the first trap. It's still amazing how sometimes you just get it other times I can't see the correct connections.

I actually got it in terms of easiest to hardest according to NYT. Whenever one jumps right out at me I think no that's too obvious, there has to be a trick to this

Impressive. I had no idea about purple.

Yeah, I was struggling for a couple minutes to see anything that went beyond 3 connected words. Then I thought back to the puzzle last week where they just gave the first three letters to the zodiac words. And it was in that “frame of mind” that the purple category relationship came to me.

 

[SL Hawk Fan]

Still waiting for these to get tougher.

Got ‘em but the last two took a bit. Last couple puzzles have included some words that were real stretches.

Spoiler: Really??

FORK yesterday and QUACK today

I knew the purples, but left them until the end ….

Spoiler: Because

I associate “QUACK” with someone who is not deliberately cheating, but is just incompetent due to their “way out there” beliefs. Crunchy granola anti Vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, the ancient aliens dude, etc.
