Connections answer today

Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Monday, 20th July:

• 🟨 Yellow: Announce (Blare, Herald, Sound, Trumpet)
• 🟩 Green: Things to Click (Button, Icon, Link, Menu)
• 🟦 Blue: Associated with Pearls (Bubble Tea, Oyster, Swine, Wisdom)
• 🟪 Purple: Starting with Alcoholic Beverages (Alexa, Meadow, Portobello, Sakes)

Today's puzzle was a nice blend of technology, language, and clever wordplay, as per usual. The yellow category focused on verbs meaning to announce or proclaim, while the green group was composed of user interface elements

often seen on screen.

The blue set was difficult to place since the words were connected by expressions rather than associations between the words themselves. The purple group might not have been the hardest for once!
