How I solved todays Connections
SHELVE, DELAY, and POSTPONE could all be synonyms.
BARREL, TABLE, LADDER, and STOOL could all be wooden items.
GORILLA is an odd one.
What could that go with?
Eh, why not, lets try it.
Hey, look at that!
TUG(boat), BARGE, and SUB(marine) could all be types of watercraft.
Lets try TABLE, DELAY, SHELVE, and POSTPONE.
Those all have similar meanings, as verbs.
COUNTER, KEG, STOOL, and TAP are all parts of a bar.
And JUNK is the last boat throw in to go with BARGE, TUG, and SUB.
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 give it another spin.
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.
