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 24th came pretty easily.
The Green category, “Metric Prefixes,” jumped out immediately.
Next, my eyes fixed on lime and cilantro.
Of the remaining words, only onion really fits.
The Yellow category was “Taco Toppings.”
The next two categories were a bit more elusive.
I shuffled a few times, and foot and mole wound up positioned next to each other.
In this situation, mole and foot together lead me to the word hill.
That makes sensea mole hill is a thing, and so is a foothill.
Capitol Hill is another common hill-related term.
Faith Hill is a country music artist.
That left 4 words that must be in the Blue category.
Mini, pencil, poodle, and wrap don’t immediately bring anything to mind.
Luckily, we don’t need to see the connection.
It turns out that Blue was “Kinds of Skirts.”
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!
