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.
May 19th was a step-down in difficulty from the last game, or so it seemed anyway.
The first group I spotted was Yellow, “Affluent.”
The words were flush, loaded, rich, and wealthy.
The next word I happened to look at was traditional, so I went with that next.
That lead me to look at the meaning of traditional: “Old-fashioned.”
Blue was “Old-Fashioned.”
Chop, cube, dice, and mince are all verbs that describe cutting something up.
Usually they’re used when referring to food preparation.
They were in the Green group, “Cut into Pieces.”
That left bury, current, leachy, and pair.
They didn’t seem to have anything in common, but saying them out loud helped.
They’re homophones for fruits.
The Purple group was “Fruit Homophones.”
