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 31st wasn’t too bad, but it had one major red herring that threw me off immediately.
Fuji was ultimately a dead end, though, since the camera brand is actually Fujifilm.
However, Fuji is a mountain, and luckily, hood, olympus, and whitney are too.
The Green group was “Mount ____.”
The Blue group was actually “Components of an LP.”
Body and canon can refer to “a body of literary works.”
That brought in works.
Together, body, canon, oeuvre, and works were in the Yellow group, “Corpus.”
That left hands, maraca, polaroid, and snowglobe.
I wasn’t able to figure out the connection between them, but luckily I didn’t need to.
Purple was “Things People Shake.”
How Do You Guess Connections Groups?
However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
If you didn’t solve this one, don’t feel too badthere’s always tomorrow!
