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.
The first words I noticed were resolve and will.
That got me spirit, which fit nicely with the theme.
The last word I guessed was pointer, which rounded out the Yellow group.
Together, those 4 words were the Blue group, “Spend Time at.”
That left canine, freight, often, and ozone in the Purple group.
As is often the case, I started through my checklist to solve purple.
Is there a missing word?
Is there a common idea between the meanings or uses of the words?
It must be something about the words themselves.
The actual group name was “Words Ending in Numbers.”
