How I solved todays Connections
Oh look, its KATY PERRY, our newest astronaut.
I think Ill try GARTER, BOA, CORSET, and STOCKINGS.
Oh, I think SIMBA might actually be samba, the dance, with a letter changed.
(She has a song called Roar.)
That leaves SCORE, SCRAPE, SCAR, and SCRATCH, which are all words for surface-level abrasions.
That was a fun one!
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!
