- My rating: Moderate

My BROAD view of today’s Connections is that it was far from a BREEZE but after some huff and PUFF I got there in the (REAR) END – very cheeky group, that one.
My mistake came as I foolishly thought ARS, PIE, ABC and BUT were all organization acronyms – for what, I have no idea – and, well, it was a bit of a lazy guess. But after getting BREATHE HARD and CATCHALL the final two groups fell into place nicely.
- YELLOW: HARDLY BUSTLING CALM, QUIET, SLEEPY, SLOW
- GREEN: EARN GROSS, MAKE, NET, YIELD
- BLUE: REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS HOME, MUTE, STOP, VOLUME
- PURPLE: WORDS BEFORE “DRUM” EAR, KETTLE, OIL, SNARE
