What are the ambiguous words in todays Connections?
A CLUB can be a golf clubbut thats not what we want today.
A WEDGE can be a shape, a shoe, asalad, or a golf club.
This time youdowant to think about the golf club meaning.
HEART ACHE describes a similar feeling, but those two words do not go together today.
What are the categories in todays Connections?
I give them all away below.
What are the yellow words in todays Connections?
The yellow grouping is considered to be the most straightforward.
What are the green words in todays Connections?
The green grouping is supposed to be the second-easiest.
What are the blue words in todays Connections?
The blue grouping is the second-hardest.
What are the purple words in todays Connections?
The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
Not just on vibes, but on grammar and taxonomy as well.
So CLUB was not going to be in a category with WOOD, IRON, and PUTTER.
You cant (shouldnt!)
have the overall concept of golf clubs on the same level as specific types of golf clubs.
WEDGE is the one that fills out that category.
Which means CLUB is now available to go with DIAMOND, HEART, and SPADE for suits of cards.
I went with my initial guess, and it was right.
That left WANTING, LOW, SHY, and SHORT.
How could a gerund fithere?
Only if its being used as an adjective.
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.
