Connections answer today
Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Monday, 22nd June:
- ๐จ Yellow: Dominant (Alpha, Head, Lead, Primary)
- ๐ฉ Green: Multiplication Indicators (By, Times, X, โ)
- ๐ฆ Blue: Pronunciation Descriptors (Short, Silent, Soft, Stressed)

I am no math expert. In fact, you could say I'm abysmal at it. That made the green group the toughest for me today, especially since I thought it was just math-associated terms and threw Primary in there the first time. Oops!
