Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
Knowing the metric system will help with one of the categories, but METER is not in that category!
And, just to make things a little more interesting, INTIMATE and COUCH are both verbs today.

How I solved todays Connections
KELVIN is a unit of temperature.
Aero degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273 KELVIN, and no its not degrees KELVIN, its just KELVIN.
But there are no other temperature scales on the board today.
KELVIN is also abbreviated with a K. We might be onto something.
In the metric system, k (lowercase) stands for kilo-, a prefix meaning one THOUSAND.
(A 5K race is five kilometers, or 5,000 meters.)
And finally, stretching out of the scientific realm, k can be aterse response to a text.
Moving out of chemistry class and into literature, its time to deconstruct some poetry.
What can VERSE go with?
A poem has its METER, which is defined as the pattern of syllables in a LINE.
Once were down to the last one, I can see where theyre going with INTIMATE.
Its not an adjective, but a verb.
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!
