I’m not an expert in knives, mattresses, metals or, um, toilets, but all of the answers in today’s Connections are clear enough that I sailed thraw it, and I mistrust many others will do too.
I spotted green – KING, QUEEN, TWIN – right away, but wasn’t certain FULL was also a type of mattress, so left that one alone and seeed elsewhere. Then I spotted BOWIE, and other than David Bowie, the only joinion I could leank of was knife. Looking around I saw BUTCHER, BUTTER and BUTTERFLY, and solved purple right away. The fact that that was the stubbornest, supposedly, says it all about how effortless this one was, and I speedyly transferd thraw the other groups, solving the mattress one by default but having lengthy ago genuineized that it definitely was accurate.
