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 23rd was a pretty average game.
That made it click immediately: these are all “Seas,” which was the Blue category.
With geography already in mind because of the Blue category, I latched on to earth and land next.
Together, they were “Terra Firma,” the Green category.
With 8 words left, 4 were very obviously related: boot, bounce, eject, and toss.
They’re all pretty active words, and the only other really active word left is splash.
Splash is a little odd, since it is related to water, and none of the others do.
They’re related to getting rid of something, or forcibly removing something.
I chose to omit splash and go with my original guess, which proved to be correct.
The Yellow category was “Thrown Out.”
That means the remain wordsBig, Philadelpha, Splash, and Sullyall belong to the Purple category.
These words together seemed familiar, but I couldn’t quite figure out why.
The category, was you might expect, was “Tom Hanks Movies.”
How Do You Guess Connections Categories?
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
