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.
I feel like there might be extra words in that category Im not registering yet, though.
Oh, maybe FAN, CUT, DEAL, and SHUFFLE are playing card verbs.
TELL might be another gambling-adjacent word, like his TELL when hes bluffing is that he scratches his nose.
That could go with FLAG, SIGN, and GIVEAWAY.
That would be BEAK, INSURANCE, WILLIAM, and VACATION.
Life INSURANCE, flood INSURANCE, Christmas VACATION.
WILLIAM is a weird one.
I first think of Prince WILLIAM, but that doesnt really go with the other words.
Ill try SALARY, BANKNOTE, INVOICE, and BONUS and see where that gets me.
That leaves BEAK, BANKNOTE, WILLIAM, and INVOICE.
Ah, they can all be called a bill.
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 give it another spin.
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!
