Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.

(The full solution is a bit further down.)

SLACK refers to the workplace communication software.

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.

PRESS, ATTENTION, COVERAGE, and EXPOSURE are all words related to media and the news.

Lets see, whats left from my camera category?

SHUTTER, LENS, ANGLE, and PERSPECTIVE.

If I went with that, Id be left with LOVE, TREASURE, POSITION, and ANGLE.

Does that make sense as a category?

LOVE and TREASURE are synonyms, but FANTASY and POSITION are odd.

Maybe its a fill-in-the-blank?

LOVE story, TREASURE chest, FANTASY football, tricky POSITION.

The only other word I could see working there is POSITION.

OK, that leaves TREASURE, LOVE, SHUTTER, and FANTASY.

True LOVE, SHUTTER speed, FANTASY land.

Hmm, Im stumped!

Lets see what it is.

Not a huge fan of that purple category, but a solve is a solve.

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 hit it one more time.

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!
