  • PURPLE: HOMOPHONES OF BODIES OF WATER: BAE, CREAK, SEE, STRAIGHT

  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 2 mistakes

Just a couple of days after RATTLESNAKE appeared within the group SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL, the venomous vipers make another Connections appearance with a group of their own – THINGS A RATTLESNAKE DOES.

According to recent news reports, rattlesnakes are rattling a lot less than they used to. The reason for this is that snakes that live near to human populations no longer see us as a threat, so have no need to rattle. Cars, on the other hand, are a major threat but they are yet to be built with sensors alerting them to snakes in the road.

Meanwhile, I rattled through today’s puzzle, failing to get HOMOPHONES OF BODIES OF WATER, but rescued by my limited snake knowledge.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
