Were about to give away some of the answers.
Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
ABBOTT and FRY are in the same category, but NUN and MONK belong to separate ones.
(In fact, ABBOTT, FRY, and MONK are all names.)
There is a spelling/word structure category today.
BONES and SKULL do not go together.
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.
Oh, but MONK couldalsofit with ELEMENTARY, KOJAK, and BONES, which are all mystery murder shows.
Lots of overlap today.
SKULL, CROWN, DOME, and COCONUT could all be words referring to a head.
I think the detective show category and the palindrome category will work, because theres no overlap between them.
First, NUN, STATS, ABBA, and KAYAK.
Next, MONK, ELEMENTARY, BONES, and KOJAK.
That leaves LAUREL, ABBOTT, KEY, and FRY.
Oh, could they be halves of comedic duos?
LAUREL and Hardy, ABBOTT and Costello, KEY and Peele, and FRY and Laurie?
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!
