Resolving the current NYT connections, while simple, was also a different experience, as you will see for yourself. I started my journey by solving the Green category, and that only happened thanks to a colleague who is a guitarist. I then moved to the blue category and got it quickly as it was quite easy.
I am proud to say that I solved Purple first. Although it took me a few minutes to get confused with other words like gas and water, I eventually figured out that they were used to whip people up.
Once that was done, I collected the last four words, combined them all and got Yellow and with it the NYT Connections puzzle for December 3.
