Happy Friday! Coming up on the weekend, but first, let’s tackle today’s Connections puzzle. In Connections, players must group 16 words into four categories based on their similarities. The groups can range from horror movie franchises to types of verbs. Each group is color-coded, with the purple group usually being the most challenging and involving wordplay.
For today’s game, the 16 words include COAT, FILM, SWEEP, SKIN, IMAGINE, PROGRAM, and more. The hints for the groups are: yellow – devise, green – a modicum of protection, blue – dispose of detritus, and purple – actions used to build the thing you’re looking at right now. The groups for today’s game are revealed to be: yellow – dream up, green – thin covering, blue – remove, as crumbs, and purple – verbs for a software engineer.
The answers for today’s Connections game are: yellow – dream up (CONCEIVE, ENVISION, IMAGINE, PICTURE), green – thin covering (COAT, FILM, LAYER, SKIN), blue – remove, as crumbs (BRUSH, FLICK, SWEEP, WIPE), and purple – verbs for a software engineer (CODE, DEVELOP, HACK, PROGRAM). The writer had a perfect game and their overall streak is up to 17. They found the yellow and blue groups first, then the purple group, leaving the green group for the win.
Lastly, the writer shares a viral sensation called “Man in Finance,” created by Megan Boni (Girl_on_couch) on TikTok. The catchy tune has caught the attention of DJs who have been remixing it into house tracks. And that wraps up today’s Connections clues and answers. Stay tuned for hints and solutions for Saturday’s game on the writer’s blog.
