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 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.
April 14th was relatively easy, except for Purple.
We first noted drill, practice, and routine are all words used for repetitive training of some kind.
Green was “Bit of Repetitive Training.”
Next, we noticed that rip and tear are basically synonyms.
So we stuck them together and luckily finished Yellow, “Pull Using Force.”
With 8 left, American, Frontier, Spirit, and United were pretty straightforward, too.
They’re all “U.S.-Based Airlines,” which was Blue.
We had to stop and consider the words themselves rather than what they mean.
So, what do the words themselves have in common?
The first three letters of each word is also an abbreviation for a day of the week.
The category was actually named “Beginning with Day Abbreviations.”
