There aretwogroups today that relate to fast movements.

Its also technological in nature.
Two of these innovations have grown hugely in popularity since March 2020.
What are the categories in todays Connections?
Yellow: HOW FAST SOMETHING IS GOING
Green: STEP ON IT!
I give them all away below.
What are the yellow words in todays Connections?
The yellow grouping is considered to be the most straightforward.
What are the green words in todays Connections?
The green grouping is supposed to be the second-easiest.
The theme for todays green category is STEP ON IT!
and the words are: FASTER, GO, HURRY, MOVE.
What are the blue words in todays Connections?
The blue grouping is the second-hardest.
What are the purple words in todays Connections?
The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
You know, the telePROMPTER (or, as its manufacturer originally styled it, TelePrompTer).
We also have teleVISION, teleCOMMUTE, and teleMEDICINE.
Im pretty oblivious about basketball, but even I know that the CLIPPERs and SPURs are teams.
ROCKETs and PACERs too, Im pretty sure.
Finally, we have a bunch of things we might say to a slowpoke: HURRY!
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to hit it one more time.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
