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 3rd seemed much easier than usual.
The first group of words I spotted was Yellow, “Nightspots.”
Though admittedly, discos are a little less common these days.
The next group I found was Green.
The group was titled “Cast Off.”
Foot and yard are both common units for length, so it seemed very likely they should go together.
Fathom and league are too, but they’re much less common.
Together, the 4 words made up the Blue group, “Units of Length.”
That left bake, clearance, garage, and sample.
The words must belong to the Purple group, but the connection between them wasn’t apparent.
It turns out that they’re all types of sales.
The group was actually named “____ Sale.”
