Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
SNICKER and LAUGH do not go together.
SNICKER refers to a sweet treat.
BUMP refers to something you drive over after lightly braking your car.
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.
JOKER and CARD might go together, but I dont see anything else related to playing cards.
CHESS is the closest, but that doesnt seem aligned.
All right, so LAUGH probably goes in there and something else has to come out.
I think DEMON is the one that fits the least.
Lets see if CHARACTER, CARD, LAUGH, and JOKER work.
OK, so that leaves BUMP, DEMON, DIAL, and CHESS.
Baby BUMP, CHESS piece, turn the DIAL, BUMP in the roadI have no idea!
Oh, SPEED ___.
What is Speed Chess?
Hmm,apparently its just chess with more time limits.
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 retry.
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!
