Connections Puzzle #878 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸͺ πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 I got halfway through and got stuck until I figured out purple. Blue isn’t really in my wheelhouse but I sort of saw it when it was the only one left. For some reason I was fixated on things from Into the Woods and my first guess I had 3/4 with knight, forest, bow and coat. When I switched out coat for baker I lost the one away so I left to do some other puzzles. Note: I have never actually seen Into the Woods. I do know that there is a baker and presumably a forest and knight seemed reasonable. ---

On Wednesday, I pretty much just wildly guessed Blue, based on them being last names, and even that I still had a β€œOne Away”. And purple was pure leftovers. ---

> [@psychobunny](#): > > Tried to use bow as a part of a ship. As well you should, because fore and aft aren’t parts of a ship, they’re directions on a ship. The part of a ship that’s fore is the bow, and the part of the ship that’s aft is the stern. Horrible category.
