How I solved todays Connections
I think I see two categories after a quick scan.
The first is FAST, STAT, SOON, and NOW, which are all words describing urgency.
TEAM and PLAYER could go together.
NOW and THEN could go together.
BIO and STAT could be shortened forms of school subjects: biology and statistics.
Maybe THEN, NOW, LATER, and SOON go together as words describing when something will happen.
Hmm, maybe the word spirit goes with some of these.
TEAM spirit, spirit FINGERs, and SOUL and spirit are synonyms.
That doesnt seem quite right.
These last eight words are a doozy!
I must be missing something.
Maybe STAT, TEAM, BIO, and PLAYER go together as info about a sports team?
INFO ON A BASEBALL CARD!
OK, phew, we got there.
That leaves SOUL, JUNK, FAST, and FINGER.
Oh, ___ FOOD.
I should have gotten that oneoh well!
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 loop back and try.
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!
