NYT Connections November 20

Solving today’s Connections was actually relatively easy, as I could easily connect most of the words together. However, I took a step back and started with the simplest one. Once I connected all the primates together, I nailed down the Green category. The Blue category came naturally since, as an Indian, I love all of these chutneys except Mango.

I then actually solved the Purple category next, as mime and parrot were dead giveaways. Even though it was fairly obvious by now, I had already made the Yellow connection in my head. So I paired those words together and finally got my NYT Connections answer for November 20.
