..🟨 Way of solving a problem: Answer, fix, remedy, solution🟩 Collect, as from an orchard: Gather, harvest, pick, reap🟦 Photoshop tools: Eraser, eyedropper, lasso, magic wand🟪 Objects that may be right- or left-handed: Baseball glove, can opener, golf club, guitarA nice run of fours this week.
For me, I saw magic wand and my first thought was Photoshop. Eraser, eyedropper and lasso followed quickly as tools in the software.Perusing the remaining, I found that baseball glove, can opener, golf club and guitar didn't seem to fit anything else.
Being a lefty, I have had left-handed gloves, clubs and guitars though never a can opener so I didn't clock that list immediately.From there I picked up the green category with gather, harvest, pick and reap. It did make me excited for summer berry you-picks later in the summer.
Which left the yellow category of answer, fix, remedy and solution as the wrap up.Yesterday's Connections answers🟨 Alert: Alarm, flare, signal, SOS🟩 Spend the night (at): Bunk, crash, sleep, stay🟦 Associated with early morning: Dew, rooster, sunrise, worm🟪 Cookie cutter shapes in "Squid Game": Circle, star, triangle, umbrellaReading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #620, which had a difficulty rating of 4 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. Because I saw the companion score first, I let that dictate my path a bit in that I was looking for the yellow to kick things off.
This was picked up quickly with SOS, flare, signal and alarm.I was looking circle, star and triangle but wasn't immediately making the connection. Instead, I snagged worm and rooster as morning things.
Dew and sunrise were obvious from there.This did open up purple and I added umbrella. At this point, I vaguely recalled the shapes from Squid Game which helped.
Green became the rote fill bunk, crash, sleep and stay as slumber party synonyms..
