It sounds easy, but it isn’tConnections categories can be almost anything, and they’re usually quite specific.

What Is Connections?
Connections is a 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.
That common element could be anything.
Sometimes they’re references to economics, other times they reference fairy tales.
There is no telling what sort of association there will be between words.
Once you’re confident you understand the connection, select 4 words, then hit “Submit.”
You have only four attempts in total, so don’t be too guess-happy.

Shuffling the board a bunch resulted in clown, tent, and trapeze positioned togetherthen it clicked!
These are things you see at a circus.

Those words together were in the Yellow category, “Seen at the Circus.”
In hindsight, we see it.
Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
