BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Connections puzzle!
Were about to give away some of the answers.
Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
What are the ambiguous words in todays Connections?
An EYELET is a small hole in fabric.
You use your TONGUE for SPEECH, but those words are not in the same category today.
SOLE and PERCH are both fish, but there are no fish in the puzzle today.
To ROOST is to rest on a branch or in a henhouse; hence the word ROOSTer.
(Which seems to have beeninvented in the 1800s so people wouldnt have to say cock.)
A BLOW can be a punch or a kick.
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.
Then I wonder if SOLE and PERCH are meant to be fish.
Finally I see the sneaker parts: LACE, EYELET, SOLE, and TONGUE.
The fabrics, then, are SILK, SATIN, VELVET, and CHIFFON.
(Satin, velvet, and chiffon were all originally made from silk, by the way.)
What are we left with?
Things that are delivered.
In the sense of a punch or kick.
Yes, of course, thats what I was thinking.
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!
