AUGUST 7 #422

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

All of these words perfectly describe how I attempted to fill a suitcase when I came home from overseas after spending two months living there and spending my money on a lot of souvenirs for everyone I knew.

I PACKed my suitcase with all the light items and some fragile items carefully buffeted by soft cotton t-shirts, while I JAMmed everything I could into the two backpacks I could carry on the plane. They were so STUFFed full that it took a long time to carefully extract the computer from it to make it through airport security before I had to try to RAM it back in again.

RESTAURANT JOBS
COOK	DISHWASHER	HOST	SERVER

Many of us had a job like this at some point or may still be in one, and I’m sure it is a little triggering for some to remember. Whether you were COOKing up the food, guiding people to seats as a HOST, bringing out the food and drinks as a SERVER, or making sure everything was clean as a DISHWASHER, there were pros and cons to each one.

Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
MICROWAVE	RADIO	VISIBLE	X-RAY

Most of these waves remain invisible to the naked eye, but they are fun to visualize and think about. RADIO waves transmit fun sounds to our ears, while X-RAYs are used to see into our bodies without having to make any incisions.

MICROWAVES make our food nice and warm – not always nice though – and some are just VISIBLE.There are a lot of possibilities and humans have likely only scratched the surface on most of these.

THINGS WITH BITS
BRIDLE	BYTE	COMEDIAN	DRILL

I would argue that most everything is made up of “bits” but these words are a bit more specific than that. BRIDLES and DRILLS have actual components that are really called bits, BYTES are made up of BITS, and COMEDIANS have bits, but that still seems quite vague. Regardless, it makes sense at some level, but I would like a little more – eh?
