How I solved todays Connections
I think I see two categories right off the bat.
The next is a category of words for sausages, including SAUSAGE, LINK, BRAT, and BANGER.
OK, so maybe the song category is a red herring.
AUTOHARP and CONTRABASS are both instruments, but I dont see others.
Oh, EDGE, SAFARI, CHROME, and OPERA are all names of internet browsers.
TAP, HIT, KNOCK, and BOP are all verbs for smacking something.
That leaves AUTOHARP, CONTRABASS, PEPPERONI, and ROSEBUD.
Two instruments, a pizza topping, and a part of a plant.
I have no idea!
ENDING WITH BEER BRANDS, eh?
OK, so thats Harp, Bass, Peroni, and Bud.
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 take another crack.
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.
