HEM is a sewing term, like DART.
Meanwhile, BITE and PUNCHdogo together, but both are meant in a more figurative way.

What are the categories in todays Connections?
I give them all away below.

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.
Oh, wait, heres HEM and SEAM, plus PLEAT.
Is SPICE a Dune reference?
Nope, weve got BITE, PUNCH, and EDGE.
FREEZE, CAN, CURE, and DRY are ways of preserving food.
(Unless theyre saying HEM and HAW, which weve already ruled out.)
And whats with LOO, the British slang for toilet?
We have to be looking at some clever little wordplay dealie.
I consider first syllables (HA, LO…) before HAWk occurs to me.
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.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
