★ Yesterday's answers, revealed
- Yellow (easiest) — the connection is “A notable achievement”. The answers: RECORD, LANDMARK, MILESTONE, FEAT.
- Green (easy) — the connection is “Off-field roles at a soccer club”. The answers: OWNER, CHAIRMAN, SPORTING DIRECTOR, CEO.
- Blue (tricky) — the connection is “Played 100+ games for england”. The answers: KANE, SHILTON, COLE, WRIGHT.
- Purple (trickiest, usually wordplay) — the connection is “Begins with a type of food”. The answers: HAMBURG, LAMBERT, FIGO, KIWIOR.
The puzzle, explained
The purple group is all last names of soccer players that begin with a type of food: Hamburg-er, Lam-bert, Fi-go (fig), and Ki-wi-or. The trickiest bait here was probably KANE and COLE from the blue group—they're also famous English strikers, so your brain might've been looking for another player name to complete a set. WRIGHT could've fooled you too since it sounds like it belongs with those other England legends, but it's actually part of the "100+ caps" group instead. The green group (OWNER, CHAIRMAN, SPORTING DIRECTOR, CEO) was pretty straightforward once you figured out they're all executive positions, so that probably didn't trick you much!
