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.

it’s possible for you to place bee after those three words.
With that in mind, spelling also jumped out.
You might quickly run out of partners unless you’re careful, though.
With 8 words left, the two other categories were both clear.
Those 4 words together are things “Featured in Westerns” (Green).
The last category, Blue, is much tougher than usual.
