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.

What do ferry, mercury, and plant have in common?

However, the connection was close enough, so I took a stab at it.
Green was “Accessories for Dog Walking.”
Horses, dogs, what’s really the difference, anyway?
The Yellow group was “Chutzpah.”
That left carousel, globe, record, and top.
Turns out I was wrongBlue was, in fact, “Things that Spin.”
