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 word I started with was hat.

Yellow was “Take Home, as Income.”
Instead of placing B in front of the words, the connection was “C-______.”
C-clef, c-section, c-span, and c-suite.
