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 8th was a bit harder than usual, but not terrible.
Brick, cherry, rose, and ruby all stood out immediately because they’re all typically red.
That seemed like a strong enough connection to risk a guess, and it paid off.
Yellow was “Shades of Red.”
The next word I latched on to was best.
What context were best and top being used in?
The best or top choice?
Together, best, cream, pick, and top were “Choicest,” the Blue group.
That one felt rougher than Blue usually is.
The Green group was actually titled “Little Bit of a Beverage.”
That left bird, bubble, mud, and sponge.
They’re all words that can go before the word bath.
Purple was “____ Bath.”
