Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)

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.
Next, I see that MANE and MOP could both refer to long, untidy hairstyles.
LOG, RECORD, JOURNAL, and REGISTER could all be synonyms for writing something down.
Lets try that first.
FRIEND and CHEER spark an association with the sitcomsFriendsandCheers.
Maybe there are other singular forms of sitcoms on the board, too.
Yep, SCRUB works, and so does WEED, if we broaden the category to comedies more generally.
TANGLE, MOP, and MANE are all still on the boardmaybe they go with SHOCK?
That leaves HOG, FUND, TRIMMER, and MAZE.
Hmm, lets thinkits probably a fill-in-the-blank, because I dont see any other obvious associations.
HOG wild, superFUND, hair TRIMMER, corn MAZE.
Things that twist, things that oink, things that buzz, hmm.
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!
