Connections #832 answers
| Color | Category | Words | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow | CAR BRANDS | DODGE, FORD, LINCOLN, RAM | Each is an automobile marque. |
| Green | BIT OF SPORTS BAR FARE | CHIP, DIP, FRY, WING | Each can refer to a snack or menu item. |

| Purple | SKY___ | DIVE, LARK, ROCKET, SCRAPER | Put “sky” before each word to make skydive, skylark, skyrocket, and skyscraper. |
What makes this grid tricky
Several entries can pull you toward more than one association: DUCK and LARK suggest birds, while FRY can point toward food. Before submitting a group, check that all four words fit one clean connection. Here, the food words form their own set, the team names use singular forms, and the remaining four complete compounds beginning with “sky.”
