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 20th was a pretty average game.
For some reason, cape, mask, tights, and underwear came together quickly.
Blue was actually “Classic Superhero Wear.”
I started with the word magic next.
Spell was an easy fit, and so was hex.
A charm is also a sort of magic, so it seemed like a good 4th word.
Charm, hex, magic, and spell were “Sorcerer’s Output,” in the Yellow group.
There just aren’t any other construction related terms here, though, so I abandoned it.
Glancing at the other words, puppet and pawn jumped out as almost synonyms.
They’re both used to describe someone that is being manipulated.
Together, they made up the Green group, “One Being Manipulated.”
More specifically, Purple was “Action Movie Directors.”
