How I solved todays Connections
Sigh.
Okay, cant be any worse than yesterday.
COW, EWE, DOE, and HEN are female animals.
YAK, JAW, GAB, and YAP are dismissive words for talking.
Hey, those werent so bad.
Maybe we have partial words here, like MER for mermaid?
SAT could be Saturn and MAR could be Mars, is that anything?
Lets try something simpler: EYE, BIB, GAG, POP are all palindromes.
Im stumped on the last one.
Somehow I was right about SATurn and MARs, but EARth and MERcury didnt occur to me at all.
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.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
