Analyzing today’s NYT Connections, the first four words that crossed my mind were Pillowcase, Towel, Sheet, and Washcloth.
Each of these words seems related to the items we find in the bathroom or the closet.
So, grouping out these closet words, I got the yellow group “Items in a Linen Closet“.
Moving ahead with the remaining words, my eyes caught the words Counter, Opposite, Polar, and Reverse, as each word seems to be defined as differently as possible.
After grouping out these opposite words, I got the green group “Diametric“.
