I give them all away below.

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.

The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
SEOUL is a place in South Korea.
Are there other locations on the board?
BELT, SHOEHORN, and SOCK could all be menswear accessories.
SANDWICH and WRAP could go together.
Hmm, a lot of word pairs, but Im not seeing any foursomes yet.
WEDGE, SHOEHORN, and SQUEEZE could all be words for forcing something into a small space.
Oh, maybe SANDWICH works there, too.
All right, finally getting somewhere.
Hmm, PUMA, GREYHOUND, CATERPILLAR, and DOVE could all be companies named after animals.
These words are all a little disjointed.
I wonder if there might be a homophone category, since SEOUL is pronounced like soul.
Oh, I see whats happening now.
That leaves SLUG, SOCK, BLOW, and BELT.
I think those are all words for hitting something with force, right?
Right, also known as a punch.
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 take another crack.
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!
