Connections Puzzle #785 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩πŸŸͺ🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 πŸŸͺ🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸͺ πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Tough one for me today. I saw the trees but had five if you include apple. Thought of V is for Vendetta but didn’t know any of the others. Took a brief detour with words where the first syllable is a verb (cedar, vendetta, cookie, easy), then decided to go for the trees. Then I saw the letters but thought it was just the first syllable so put in effort instead of easy. Blue was what was left. ---

Connections Puzzle #785 🟨🟨🟨🟨 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 I found today’s a bit tough. I saw the five trees right away, so I had to hold off on those. Then I hit on V for Vendetta, A for Apple, and E for effort, but didn’t see a fourth. So I knocked out yellow, and still had five trees. After much staring I finally figured out purple, and I _still_ had five trees! But since there are no cookie trees that I’m aware of, I slid that into blue, even though it still makes no sense to me. Quite a slog. Anyone else notice the grammatical error in the category descriptions? Tsk, tsk, NYT. ---

Connections Puzzle #786 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Once again, couldn’t quite suss out which was yellow and which green for the reverse. ZIP gave away the purple for me, but my thoughts first went to ZIP line, then PIPEline, then nothing could really fit. DRESSline? No, that’s a hemline. SUBWAY line? Sure, but I see METRO and TUBE there. So ZIP code came to me right after. ---
