NYT Connections April 23

The NYT Connections puzzle for April 23 was a relatively simple experience. I began my journey with the Yellow category and promptly ejected myself from the solution after I realized I couldn’t solve it.

The Green category came next and as someone who likes to keep his feet firmly on the ground, getting it was easy as pie. The Blue category came next, but I was lost at Sea before I solved it. Thankfully, I found my way back to the shore.

As always, there were only four words left. I combined them all together to get the Purple category along with the NYT Connections for April 23.
