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 30th was pretty easy, though Purple might have been difficult to guess without narrowing it down first.
They made up the Yellow category, which was “Dipping Sauce.”
Grill had originally caught my eye when I was looking at sauces, so I went with that next.
Probe seemed to fit with a cooking implement theme, but none of the other words did.
Grill can also mean to aggressively question, and that proved to be the meaning used here.
Grill, examine, probe, and question all belonged to Green, which was “Interrogate.”
The last word in Blue, “Transaction Record,” was statement.
That leaves only ancestry, broth, cattle, and merchandise.
Shuffle the words as I might, no connection came to mind.
It turns out that the Purple category was “What Stock Might Mean.”
