What are the ambiguous words in todays Connections?
Today its the verb.
Here, its a slightly more obscure meaning.
LASSO is not Ted Lasso (that waspuzzle #99).
Its just, you know, a LASSO.
To fling around and catch something with.
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.
If you found this one tough today, Im right there with you.
you might DIAL or BLOCK a phone number.
MASK, HAND, and LASSO are all selection tools in image editing programs.
Even though purple is supposed to be the hardest category, it runs on tricks and gimmicks.
If you see the trick, you pretty much know you have it.
I was absolutely stumped on the others, so I decided to try luck instead of skill.
I submitted BLOCK/SHIELD/COVER/MASK and BLOCK/SHIELD/COVER/HIDE.
Both gave me the message one away.
Still out of ideas, I did TIARA/MASK/SWORD/LASSO, thinking maybe these are Halloween costume items.
NowI could get BLOCK/COVER/MASK/HIDE , which only leaves DIAL, STRAP, HAND, and CROWN.
I somehow forgot the concept of a WATCH.
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!
