Can you make the connection?

Last edited Sun Mar 29, 2026, 12:37 PM - Edit history (1)

I solved 3 rows of Connections pretty quickly this morning, including the dreaded "purple" row, which I usually find the most difficult.

I was left with the four words in the blue row. You can enter them and solve the puzzle by default, but I like to figure it out on my own.

Can you see the common bond among these four words?

corps

psycho

receipt

coup
