Connections answer today

Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Saturday, 25th July:

• 🟨 Yellow: Spanish Relatives (Abuela, Hijo, Madre, Primo)
• 🟩 Green: Start to Cry, With 'Up' (Choke, Mist, Tear, Well)
• 🟦 Blue: African Currencies (Kwanza, Leone, Naira, Rand)
• 🟪 Purple: Strip ___ (Club, Mall, Poker, Steak)

Well, well, well! The purple group wasn't the hardest one for me today! How tough you found the purple group likely depends on your knowledge of African currencies or Spanish. I'm not too bad with my Spanish, but African currencies? I'm useless, apparently. Well, at least I know a little more now thanks to this puzzle.
