Connections is a game from the New York Times that challenges you to find the association between words.
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 6th was a little tough.
The first group I spotted was Purple.
In actuality, Purple was “Tarot Cards, with The.”
It turns out my guess was largely just luck!
Join, link, couple, and tie all seemed pretty straight forward.
They’re verbs that can mean “to attach,” though the specific connotations vary.
The Yellow group was actually “Connect.”
Close enough in my book.
Bother and pain immediately struck me as verbs, but that didn’t really go anywhere.
Taking them as nouns, however, proved more fruitful.
A bother and a pain are both nuisances.
Blue was curiously difficult this time.
It didn’t click until I was directly given the answer by the game: “Quantity Words.”
