BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Connections puzzle!
Were about to give away some of the answers.
Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
MONITOR and CHECK dont go together.
A BOA and a FAWN are both animals, but they have different meanings today.
What are the categories in todays Connections?
I give them all away below.
What are the yellow words in todays Connections?
The yellow grouping is considered to be the most straightforward.
What are the green words in todays Connections?
The green grouping is supposed to be the second-easiest.
What are the blue words in todays Connections?
The blue grouping is the second-hardest.
What are the purple words in todays Connections?
The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
Maybe TIE, too?
MONITOR, SCREEN, TERMINAL, and DISPLAY probably go together as words that refer to computer displays.
I thought MONITOR and CHECK might go together, but this is a stronger fit.
BASK, TAN, FAWN?
No, that doesnt seem quite right.
CHECK and FINISH are both homophones for nationalities, right?
(Czech and Finnish.)
TIE could be Thai, and… hmm, wheres the fourth?
I suppose BOA, CORSET, FAN, and GLOVES could all go together as fancy items of clothing/accessories.
Ah yes, BURLESQUE WEAR.
That leaves CHECK, FINISH, TIE, and BASK, which the puzzle says are all LANGUAGE HOMOPHONES.
I guess I was on the right track, but whats BASK?
Oh, I guess its probablyBasque, which I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with.
(Google helped me out on that.)
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to loop back and try.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
