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.
GRIND, GRATE, SCRAPE, and GNASH could all go together, too.
Yeah, lets try those.
Ah, I think JAM, PICKLE, FERMENT, and FREEZE all go together as preservation methods.
Oops, CAN is probably in there somewhere.
I bet it’s in there instead of JAM, which probably goes with SYRUP and other condiments.
Yeah, lets try PICKLE, FERMENT, FREEZE, and CAN.
I think GUTS, BEANS, and TEA go together as things one can spill metaphorically.
Maybe MILK goes with that, as in dont cry over spilled MILK.
That leaves BUTTER, SYRUP, HOT SAUCE, and JAM, which I guess are all breakfast condiments.
Hey, I even got the wording on the category right.
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!
