Connections response for July 27

Without further ado, here is Connections’ response for today:

• Off- topic remarks – Aside, detour, digression, tangent.
• Create, as results – Bear, Generate, Produce, Yield.
• Hottie – Baby, Fox, Snack, Ten.
• What can “R” mean – Are, Ray, Inverted, Right.

For today’s puzzle, I started by choosing Generate and Produce as the first words to form a group. It didn’t take me long to find the other two and complete the green group. At first, I wasn’t sure, but I decided to try grouping Detour, Digression, Tangent, and Aside. Then, when I tried to find a good angle to approach the remaining words, I saw that none of the others had a similar meaning as Ten as a number. So, I put it together with Babe and Fox, and after one guess, I was right. I don’t think I could figure out the purple group on its own.
