NYT May 1

The NYT Connections puzzle today made me go through all kinds of hoops. I began by solving the Yellow category, and as someone who absolutely loves Levi’s, I had no problem with getting it. The Green category came next; honestly, I am way too stupid for this. So I passed my laptop to my coworkers, who got it for me.

They actually went one step further by also getting the Purple category. While I do read the Rolling Stone from time to time, I had no idea about these bands. So they did.

With that done, I moved on to the Blue category, which only had four words left. I got them all together with the NYT Connections puzzle for May 1.
