How I solved todays Connections
Ha, thats a cute top row.
I have a hunch there will be a sports team category with all these animals on the board.
CLOSE, TIGHT, and INTIMATE could go together, but I dont see an obvious fourth.
I have a weird idea: I wonder if theres a category of songs that have three repeated words.
Im gonna go for it.
OK, lets try TIGERS, JAYS, LIONS, and BEARS as the sports team category.
Maybe Ill attempt to add DEAR onto the TIGHT, CLOSE, and INTIMATE category.
That leaves BEES, JAYS, EASE, and USE.
Oh, words that sound like plural letters.
BEES is B, JAYS is J, EASE is E, and USE is U. 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!
