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 7th seemed much more difficult than most days.
The first group I spotted was Yellow.
Bun, hero, roll, and wrap are all bread products you’re free to buy.
The group was properly called “Deli Bread Options.”
The next groups seemed much more difficult.
I eventually connected the word yap to mouth, as in the expression: “Shut your yap.”
Once I made that connection, chops, kisser, and trap were fairly straightforward additions.
Green was “Slang for Mouth.”
With only 8 words left, the game is usually easier, but I was still struggling.
All the words make sense, but it definitely isn’t a group with a straightforward connection.
The left bob, clap, snap, and tap for Blue.
With everything else out of the way, I got the impression they might be related to rhythm somehow.
The actual name of the group was “Keep Rhythm with Music.”
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!
