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 27th seemed easier than yesterday’s game.
I spotted Green"Power Issues"almost immediately, likely because I’ve recently experienced a power outage.
The words were outage, short, spike, and surge.
The next category I spotted, Blue, was also pretty quick.
With that in mind, brief and outline seemed very likely to be related too.
The only word that didn’t jump out quickly was digest.
The category, as you might expect, was “Summary.”
Accept and believe seem like a pretty natural combination, too.
They don’t mean exactly the same thing, but they’re similar.
Looking for words that are similar turned up buy and swallow.
Those two felt a little bit off, probably because they’re much more colloquial than the first two.
However, sticking the 4 words together finished out Yellow, which was “Trust as Real.”
That left only Purple.
The connection never came to me, despite rolling it around in my head for several minutes.
It turns out that all the words are Name Homophones: Kurt, Harry, Neil, and Wayne.
How Do You Guess Connections Categories?
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
