Today’s Connections answers
So, what are today’s Connections answers for game #551?
Drumroll, c’mon…
I found today’s 1.5 rated puzzle to be surprisingly easier than Wednesday’s 1 rating.
Perhaps, I consume too many sodas but seeing Crush and Squirt was an immediate soda connection for me.
Sprite could be grouped with Pixie but when you land soda it’s an obvious one.
Starry is less obvious but used to be called Sierra Mist (Pepsi’s version of Sprite).
Chagrined, I nabbed the green words to wrap that up.
I had skipped some of these earlier looking for bands because of phish before seeing the homophone link.

Reading this in a later time zone?
I was legitimately stunned when I opened today’s puzzle to see a bunch of pictures.
I actually thought it was broken for a second.
I have complaints but you want answers, here’s how I got them.
Complaints at the end.
I saw the gear and immediately thought tooth.
Zipper was next then saw and comb.
Purple came next only because I was saying out loud what I thought the picture was.
It clicked when I said bank and bed followed by mouth.
Blue was putting together the rest of the images minus the 3 Ts.
Thus we ended with yellow.
A total bust and an unforced error.
Braille readers can “see” the words on normal puzzles but not images.
And two) I just don’t like pictogram puzzles like this.
It’s not my cup of tea, if you will.
My personal hope is they don’t do this again.
