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 4th was a decidedly average Connections game.
I first spotted the Green group, “Filler Words.”
They were like, um, well, and literally.
Next, I noticed the Yellow group.
Relish can also mean to “Enjoy” something, though.
That avenue proved to be more productive.
The Yellow group was properly called “Enjoy.”
Cylinder, pin, spring, and tumbler are all “Components of a Lock.”
All of those hours watching LockPicking Lawyer have finally paid off!
That left carrot, hurts, jewel, and om.
Admittedly, I was pretty stumped by Purple until I muttered the words out loud.
Then it struck me: they’re all “Homophones of Units of Measure.”
