What are today’s Connections answers?

- Homophones: Ewe, U, Yew, You
- Necklines: Boat, Crew, Scoop, V
- Ways To Express 1,000: Grand, K, M, Thou

Today’s puzzle was superb – grand, even. I admittedly got stuck on an incorrect ‘you’ and ‘thou’ combo before shifting my attention to the number 1,000, which must’ve been intended by the creator. The creative but tricksy use of singular letters and homophones makes this Connections puzzle one of the best in my book.Related
