The rest took me a while to piece together. A good challenge. Though I did think DONNIE BRASCO was that movie about the guy in the rabbit suit. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ That’s one of the reasons I left blue for last. ---

Connections Puzzle #1208 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟦🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Pretty much a disaster despite not looking it. First, I would never in a million years have gotten blue.

After a fruitless search for African countries I deduced that either CROSS or SHINS were the only options that would make sense. ---

I only got the purple because they felt like they went together and I made a lucky guess. I was only familiar with two of the blue which helped narrow things. Connections Puzzle #1208 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸͺ🟦 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 ---

Guess I’m one of the few who had trouble with Friday’s puzzle. I kept trying to put INDEX, STOCK, and REAL ESTATE together as investments, and then nothing else made sense. Anyway, what is PRIME REAL ESTATE?. I’m not sure I’ve heard the term before.
