The NYT Connections puzzle for July 26 had me opening up multiple browser windows to solve it. Yes, I do that from time to time. I began by solving out the Green category and getting all the words except Champion. I must admit it did require some thinking to get that last one.
The Yellow category came next and well, this one was easy as pie to solve. The Blue category on the other hand was a real head-scratcher as I had no idea Ding and Strike could mean that. Nonetheless, I got it in the end.
With only four words left, I got them all together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for July 26!
