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 29th was a pretty average game.
The first word I looked at was chow, which is a common slang term for “Food”.
From there, the words eats, fare, and grub were relatively straight forward connections.
They made up the Yellow group.
Daunt and bully are words that can mean “intimidate.”
Rattle is a related idea, though it is usually used to describe the after effects of being intimidated.
The last word was a bit harder to pick out.
That left cow, which can also mean “to intimidate” when used as a verb.
Bully, cow, daunt, and rattle were in the Blue group, “Intimidate.”
Steer shares that meaning, though it is usually used in a very literal sense.
They belonged to the Green group, which was “Pilot.”
That left bull, flea, meat, and stock in Purple.
In this case, the connection was a word omitted from the ending.
Purple was “___ Market.”
