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 25th started with a bit of a self-inflicted red herring.
Nucleus, beaker, cell, and microscope immediately put science in mind.
Closer inspection, however, didn’t reveal any coherent connection between those words.
Together, they were the Yellow group, “Lab Equipment.”
Nucleus was still nagging at me, so I started looking for words that might go with it.
So I abandoned biology entirely and focused on synonyms for nucleus instead.
It turns out they were in the Green category, which was “Nexus.”
Those are terms you encounter when discussing spreadsheets and the like.
My guess was correct: Blue was “Spreadsheet Terms.”
The left only body, love, romance, and sign.
Purple was “____ Language.”
