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 15th felt somewhat easier than usual, even the Purple category, which is known for being difficult.
We settled on side and domino, which finished Purple.
The category, as you may expect, was just “____ Effect.”
Next, we noticed that cosmetic, shallow, and surface are all terms related to superficiality.
Of the remaining words, external is probably the only one that comes close to matching that theme.
Those 4 words were “Superficial” (Blue).
The remaining words aren’t too bad, either.
They made up the Yellow category, which was “Invent As You Go.”
That left just babble, coo, crawl, and nurse; all things that infants do.
How Do You Guess Connections Categories?
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
If you didn’t solve this one, don’t feel too badthere’s always tomorrow!
