How I solved todays Connections
I kept seeing sentences (ARE YOU STILL FAMILY?)
but finally spotted a few synonyms in THOUGH, FOREVER, YET, and STILL.
Interestingly, that was the blue category; I would have expected it to be purple.
Not sure what to do with the remaining eight, I started looking for a fill-in-the-blank.
What word goes with THERE?
How about…THERE THERE?
Its not the Egyptian boy-king, but the disapproving sound TUT TUT.
But thatstillwasnt my fill-in-the-blank.
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 give it another spin.
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.
