spoilers for NYT connections 6th jul and 27th jan 2025, tongue in cheek rant

ok FIRST of all, the "caf" in "decaf" is only a homophone for "calf" in SOME accents. probably not even all american accents do that. for me, "calf" rhymes with "barf".

SECONDLY, who the FUCK pronounces the end of "russian" with ANYTHING but a schwa?? "russian" rhymes more closely with "ashen" than it does with "a shin"!

this is WORSE than extra virgin olive oil. GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE

screenshot of the new York Times connections solution for the purple words:

theme: ending with homophones for parts of the leg

words: crypto, decaf, disney, Prussian
