It sounds easy, but it isn’tConnections categories can be almost anything, and they’re usually quite specific.
If you need a hand getting the answers, we’ve got you covered.
What Is Connections?
Connections is a puzzle game from the New York Times.
The objective is simple: sort 16 words into groups of 4.
Each group of words will be connected by some common idea or theme.
Once you’re confident, select 4 words, then hit “Submit.”
You have only four attempts in total, so don’t be too guess-happy.
What Are Today’s Connections Categories?
We took a shot with it, and it worked out.
The Yellow category was “Breathes Heavily.”
The next one was a little more challenging.
Cans, cures, salts, smokes, jams, and pickles all seem related intuitively.
They’re all related to food preservation, or foods that are preserved.
Our guess was right, and the Green category is “Preserves, as Meat.”
For the record, pickled meat is a thing, and we just got somewhat lucky with our reasoning.
As usual, once there are fewer words, groups tend to get easier to spot.
They made up the Blue category, which is named “Predicaments” today.
That leaves kettles, mittens, raindrops, and whiskers.
It is even clearer if you say them out loud: raindrops, whiskers, kettles, mittens.
