Connections answer today
Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Thursday, 16th July:
- 🟨 Yellow: Skincare Products (Clay Mask, Eye Cream, Peel, Toner)
- 🟩 Green: Shades of Black (Charcoal, Ink, Jet, Pitch)
- 🟦 Blue: Associated with Precision (Bullseye, Clockwork, Laser, Needle)
- 🟪 Purple: Starting with Tiny Marks (Dot Matrix, Period Piece, Point Break, Spot Remover)
It's a great day to be into skin care! All those hours of self care finally paid off. Black is also my favorite color, so the green group flew into place after yellow. Then came blue, and I wish I could say I found the nuances behind the purple group, but I really combined them because they were the only double words left. But hey! There's no rules apart from making those connections.
