I went down the line today.

I started with the sandwiches in grinder, hoagie, sub and hoagie.

Argument, basis, cause, and grounds stood out to me next and turned out to be the green set.

The editing tools stood out next with adjust, crop, filters, and markup.

Which left the jellies for last: jelly bean, jelly belly, jelly donut, and jelly roll.

Yesterday's Connections answers

  • 🟨 Substantial book: Opus, tome, volume, work
  • 🟩 "Saint" cities: Monica, paulo, petersburg, salvador
  • 🟦 "Long" things: Distance, division, johns, weekend
  • 🟪 Currencies plus a letter: Franci, rando, realm, work

Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #1,066, which had a difficulty rating of 3.3 out of 5.

The first thing I noticed today were the saints. Though I took a strike because I put Johns in stead of salvador in. That's largely because I'm originally from Portland and there is neighborhood called St. Johns. This is probably no where near what the connections people were thinking.

Anyway, we had Santa Monica, Sao Paulo, St. Petersburg and San Salvador.

Long Division got me the next set of long distance, long johns and long weekend.

I saw the purple set but wasn't sure what it was so I took yellow next with opus, tome, volume and work.

Then I had the currencies of franci, rando, realm, and wonk.
