Crucial to today’s Connections was knowing the difference between COMPLEMENT and Compliment. Unlike Enquire and Inquire, it’s something I’m confident about after eating many complimentary snacks.
I breezed through FAMOUS PUPPETS, but momentarily snagged on the fourth one to add to LAMB CHOP, PUNCH, and OSCAR before a vague recollection of the fantastically rude mutt TRIUMPH on The Daily Show.
Puppets seem to be able to get away with things a person couldn’t say or do. Maybe it’s a future career move for Kanye West. I’m thinking of something like a cute fluffy cat with a pencil moustache.
