Were about to give away some of the answers.
Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
A heads up about the tricky parts
SQUIRREL is a verb.
QUID isnt referring to the British currency; its related to the phrase quid pro quo, for example.
SQUID, QUID, and LIQUID all belong to different categories.
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.
STASH, STOW, and STORE look like they could be in the same category because theyre synonymous.
Oh, I guess SQUIRREL works there, too (as in, squirrel away).
FIXED and FROZEN are synonyms, but I dont see anything else to go with them.
Hmm, Im one away.
VOX is an odd one that Im not really sure what to do with.
VOX is a Latin word meaning voice.
Its also the name of a media outlet.
Hmm, I think ERGO might actually be Latin, too.
Maybe CAVEAT is, too?
OK, whats the last Latin word…
I think it might be TOXIC.
Nope, one away.
That leaves QUID, VOX, CAVEAT, and ERGO, which are all Latin words.
Oh, QUID as in quid pro quo, not as in the British currency.
Good to know I had the right train of thought!
Not my cleanest solve, but a wins a win.
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!
