How I solved todays Connections

Theyre all names??

My first order of business was to separate the ones thatmustbe names from the words that might not be.

DALE, BROOK, and CLIFF are landscape features.

NATAN is, Google tells me, a charity, a fashion company, and a soccer player.

KAREN, HANNAH, AARON, SHARON, DARREN, AND OTTO are alldefinitenames.

And heyfour of those rhyme.

The category of RHYMES is my first hit.

Next, DALE, BROOK, CLIFF, and SAVANNAall natural features.

MAY and WILL have to go together.

Perhaps they go with DREW and ROSE, all verbs?

The final grouping, I didnt get the connection before submitting.

PALINDROMES, it turns out.

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 have another go.

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.
