How I solved todays Connections
DIGRESSION and ASIDE stick out as straightforward synonyms.
TANGENT and DETOUR also fit.
GENERATE and YIELD are next to each other, and those are synonyms as well.
So does BEAR, if I think of it like bearing fruit.
The remaining eight words seem a bit mismatched, so Ill need to put my thinking cap on.
RADIUS is an odd one.
I always think of it in terms of math class, like the equation r2.
Oh, wait, thats itthe category is things that can be referred to by the are sound.
Oh, those are all slang words to refer to someone attractive.
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.
