Connections Reply by December 7
Are you still stuck with the puzzle? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections are:
- STATE ABBREVIATIONS – Hello, DA, MA, OK
- CABLE CHANNELS – Bet, E, Hallmark, USA
- IN THE NATO ALPHABET – Alpha, Brave, Romeo, Tango
- _ _ _ – _ _ _ – Boo, Pom, Tom, Yo
I started off strong with NYT Connections just because I watch way too many military movies. This allowed me to immediately identify the Blue category and solve it first. Luckily I’m starting to notice patterns with Connections, so I was able to identify the starting parts of all the US states and got the yellow ones too.
The purple category was definitely very confusing. And to be honest, I didn’t think the words would repeat themselves. Instead, I connected all the stupid words I could find and that gave me the category.
Finally, with only four words left, I connected them all, got the Green category and the answers for NYT Connections for December 7.
