BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Connections puzzle!
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.)
NOTICE is a noun, not a verb.
READER goes with another word to describe a jot down of fortuneteller.
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.
I dont feel strongly about the first category, but the second one seems like a hit.
Lets try it: POSTER, NOTICE, BULLETIN, ANNOUNCEMENT.
I just realized that SODA CAN, KEYBOARD, and FOLDER are all things that have tabs.
That feels like a hit.
Wheres the fourth, though?
REGISTER makes me think of a cash REGISTER, but I dont really see any other cash words.
SCANNER makes me think of either a police SCANNER or an office appliance used to scan and copy documents.
Oh, maybe SCALE and CONVEYOR BELT are items associated with checking luggage at an airport?
I guess that would probably go with SCANNER and REGISTER?
Im not 100% sure on that, but lets see.
SCALE is what threw me offI forgot about the scales they use to calculate prices of produce.
That leaves BEACH, SUNDAY, TREE, and READER.
READER makes me think ofReaders Digest, but I dont think that fits with the other words.
I have no idea.
Oh, PALM ___.
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.
