How I solved todays Connections
Quite an assortment of words today!
Not sure about a fourth yet.
Yeah, lets try that.
Now for STATUE OF LIBERTY, VENUS DE MILO, LIBERTY BELL, and TOWER OF PISA.
OK, lets see what goes with TURKISH ANGORA, RUSSIAN BLUE, and SPHYNX.
I bet its RAGAMUFFINits the only one that makes sense.
That leaves WHITE RUSSIAN, BOWLING, BATHROBE, and RUG.
Oh, are those all things fromThe Big Lebowski?
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 retry.
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!
