How I solved todays Connections
Oh boy.
The first thing I see is that there are several images that can be described with the tee sound.
Next, I think there might be images that portray angry exclamations: the image of nuts (Nuts!
), the G letters (Jeez!
), and the two rats (Rats!).
Im not sure about the last one yet.
I think there might be a things with teeth category, too.
The image of the zipper (or is that a railroad?
If I get rid of those, whats left is a bed, a triangle, and a bank.
I guess you might also need to change bedding, but that seems less strong.
Im not sure honestly, but its the best thing I can think of.
Yeah, one away.
Lets try swapping the mouth and the zipper.
PARTS OF A RIVER: a bank, a bed, a delta, and a mouth.
That was a tough one, but we got there!

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.

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.
