How I solved todays Connections

I see IMPOSSIBLE and EVEN and I think of odds.

You could also have EQUAL odds, but Im not sure Im even on the right track.

So lets try something else.

EVEN and EQUAL can go with FAIR and JUST to describe equity.

We could add LAIR, NEST, HIVE, and maybe WEBwhich is too many.

METAVERSE is another odd thumb.

And now, just like yesterday, Im down to eight tiles with one potential grouping in mind.

The words I cant account for yet are NOTHING, IMPOSSIBLE, and GOOD.

One of the animal homes has to go with them.

For a minute there I thought I had something with IMPOSSIBLE burger and NOTHINGburger but not enough to match.

That leaves NEST, HIVE, LAIR, and DEN as our animal homes.

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.
