Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary

Today’s puzzle brings together four different types of word associations. The Yellow group focuses on common expressions that mean to keep moving or continue an activity. Each entry conveys the idea of not stopping a current task or journey.

The Green category features everyday items built with wheels to help move people or belongings from one place to another. They are often used around homes, malls, and public spaces.

The Blue set highlights items that a restaurant server typically brings to diners during a meal. These range from pre‑meal references to food and standard table‑side offerings.

The Purple group is the trickiest. Each word ends with terms often used as headings inside website or software menu bars. You will need to spot that shared ending to solve this group.
