Hints for Connections #874
Try these category clues before looking at the answers:
- Yellow: Legal steps.
- Green: The darkest color.
- Blue: One half of a famous real-life duo.
- Purple: One half of an animation duo.
The two duo clues work in opposite directions: one group names the second member of a real-life pair, while the other names the first member of a cartoon pair. There is also a tempting overlap: INKY, PINKY, and CLYDE are Pac-Man character names, but they belong in separate groups here.

How the two duo categories differ
The blue answers complete real-life pairings: Sonny and Cher, Bonnie and Clyde, Laurel and Hardy, and Penn and Teller.
