Today’s Connections puzzle has an exceptionally fun purple category — at least if you’re stuck in the 1980s like me. (I co-wrote a book, Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? about the lost toys, tastes and trends of the 1970s, 1980s and another, The Totally Sweet ’90s, about the 1990s.) Read on for clues and today’s Connections answers.
The Times now has a Connections Bot, like the one for Wordle. Go there after you play to receive a numeric score and to have the program analyze your answers. Players who are registered with the Times Games section can now nerd out by following their progress, including number of puzzles completed, win rate, number of times they nabbed a perfect score and their win streak.
