(The full solution is a bit further down.)
What are the ambiguous words in todays Connections?
ACES can refer to multiple playing cards, or to something you think is peachy KEEN.
A MOUNT can be a trusty steed, or refer to the action of climbing on top of it.
MARBLE is a stone that is often carved into grand sculptures or used to tile neoclassical government buildings.
But the word can also mean a small round ball used as a toy.
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.
It could go with SWELL, NEATO, NIFTY, and KEEN.
I quickly eliminate SWELL because its the only word that feels like it might belong elsewherewith GROW, perhaps?
Heck, Im halfway to the next category already.
SWELL and GROW are synonyms of MOUNT and BUILD.
But Imone away!I should have known it wouldnt be that easy.
HEAD, as in a pint of beer, is probably in the mix.
So whats up with MARBLE, PEARL, and GLOBE?
Ahh, they are all iconically round and smooth objects, just like a BUBBLE.
That leaves FROTH, LATHER, FOAM, and HEAD for the suds.
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 loop back and try.
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!
