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 24th was a pretty normal game.
The first word I started with was Cheese for no other reason than that cheese is awesome.
On the other hand, corny, sappy, and schmaltz can all mean “sentimental.”
Next I looked at the word duct.
Together, those words were in the Yellow group, which was “Conduits for Water Removal.”
Eventually, I landed on “change.”
It fits behind chump, climate, loose, and sea.
Purple was just “____ Change.”
That left egg, knuckles, smiles, and window.
Blue was “Things to Crack.”
