How I solved todays Connections
This is an interesting board!
It may be a misdirect.
COUNT and TONY could both be cereal mascots (Count Chocula and Tony the Tiger).
Lets try that one, because SNUFFY is going to be hard to put with anything else.
That leaves KATIE, CECE, EMMY, and EDIE.
Hmm, are those all shortened names?
Katherine, Cecilia, Emily, and Edith?
Seems a bit simple for a purple category.
Oh, names that sound like two letters: KT, CC, ME, and ED.
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!
