Connections #930 answers
The answer groups and words below are reported consistently by Parade, TechRadar, and Forbes. These are publisher guides, not an official NYT historical answer page.
#1 Best Overall
| Color | Category | Words | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow | AIRLINE CLASSES | BUSINESS, ECONOMY, FIRST, PREMIUM | Types of airline cabin class or fare. |
| Green | ATTRIBUTE | CITE, CREDIT, NAME, REFERENCE | Verbs for identifying or acknowledging a source or person. |
| Blue | VOCATION | CALLING, CRAFT, LINE, TRADE | Words for a profession, occupation or line of work. |
| Purple | ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES | DECIDER, NAMESAKE, REPORT, VILLAGER | Each word ends with a beverage name. |
Why the purple words fit
The last letters of each longer word spell the name of an alcoholic drink: DECIDER ends in CIDER, NAMESAKE in SAKE, REPORT in PORT, and VILLAGER in LAGER. The trick is to read the ending as a complete drink name rather than search for a standalone beverage word among the tiles.
