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 19th felt a bit harder than yesterday’s game.
The first category we figured out was Yellow.
The category was “Attach with Adhesive.”
Next, we saw carat and started thinking about diamonds.
Once we were on that mental train, cut, clarity, and color soon followed.
The category, Blue, was properly named “Diamond Qualities.”
The remaining 8 were a bit more opaque than usual.
Text, words, and writing all likely fit together, since they’re all related to written language.
List might fit, but it is a bit of a stretch.
Copy could also fit, since that is something you do with text.
We ultimately opted to guess copy, and that guess proved to be good.
Together, text, words, writing, and copy were the Green category, “Published Lines.”
The left list, ok, plus, and rod.
We just stuck them together anyway.
Purple was “A-____.”
