Today’s Connections Answers
April 30 #323
Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained
DIPPING SAUCES
AIOLI
BARBECUE
MARINARA
RANCH
There are no better foods in the world than sauces. Taking any random dipper and slathering it in your favorite condiment is the single greatest pleasure one can achieve. AIOLI and MARINARA were the first two words we saw in this delicious category and the others didn’t take much longer to connect.
We did end up wasting one attempt right off the bat though trying to make CATTLE, RANCH, GRILL, and BARBECUE work, but that was quickly cast aside once we caught ourselves trying to guess after it showed we failed.
If you find yourself guessing at a word, stop, you’re probably going to be wrong.
Green Answers: Revealed & Explained
INTERROGATE
EXAMINE
GRILL
PROBE
QUESTION
The green category was our third to score today and once we were down to just eight words it was pretty obvious the connection. QUESTION and EXAMINE were the starting points but with only the purple words mixed in with these, the others stood out easily.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained
TRANSACTION RECORD
BILL
INVOICE
RECEIPT
STATEMENT
Blue was our second score for the day and after we nailed it all we could do for the rest of the game was think about that old Schoolhouse Rock song “I’m Just A Bill”. To be fair, the BILL in the song has nothing to do with the type of BILL used in today’s category, but it’s just so darn catchy.
Does anyone else remember watching these cartoons in school? Is this dating me? Am I the GIF of Matt Damon quickly morphing into Harrison Young at the end of Saving Private Ryan? Either way, fun song.
Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained
WHAT “STOCK” MIGHT MEAN
ANCESTRY
BROTH
CATTLE
MERCHANDISE
Purple, as usual, had our leftover words for the day and no matter how much we pretend, there was no way we saw this combination coming. It is quite a clever category though and helped push a few misdirections with the other words. Another game of Connections down, and another win in the books.
