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.
June 21st was pretty average.
The first word I latched on to was underdog.
Blue was just “Types of Come-From-Behind Stories.”
I settled on merry-go-round, roller coaster, and tilt-a-whirl.
Yellow was “Amusement Park Rides.”
Go-ahead is a pretty direct synonym, and so is thumbs-up.
That was the Green group, “Approval.”
That left bumper-to-bumper, buttermilk, Rumpelstiltskin, and tailgate.
It turns out the group was “Beginning with Synonyms for Rear End.”
I probably would have stared at that one for a long time before it occurred to me.
How Do You Guess Connections Groups?
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
