In the latest round of Connections, players are presented with a grid of 16 words and are tasked with arranging them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. Each group is color coded based on difficulty level, with the yellow group being the easiest and the purple group typically being the hardest. Players must be careful with words that could fit into multiple categories and can shuffle the words to help see connections between them. If players make four mistakes, it’s game over.
For the latest Connections game, the 16 words include MINI, LIME, FAITH, MOLE, SALSA, POODLE, PICO, FOOT, PENCIL, MICRO, ONION, WRAP, MEGA, CILANTRO, KILO, and CAPITOL. The hints for the groups are additions to filled tortillas for the yellow group, early alternatives to the imperial system for the green group, variants of one type of attire for the blue group, and words with “hill” for the purple group. The answers for today’s groups include taco toppings for the yellow group, metric prefixes for the green group, kinds of skirts for the blue group, and words with “hill” for the purple group.
The author of the article shares their experience playing the Connections game, admitting that their hubris got the best of them as they failed with only one group completed. They found the yellow group easily but got stuck on the greens, making errors by including MINI as a size option in all combinations. Although they didn’t figure out the blue group, they should have recognized the purple words, with the spelling of CAPITOL serving as a hint.
In conclusion, the article provides a recap of the day’s Connections clues and answers, encouraging players to check the blog for hints and solutions for the next day’s game. The author also shares a personal anecdote about listening to Scottish bands such as Travis while growing up and reflects on the band’s impact and iconic song “Why Does It Always Rain On Me?”. Overall, the Connections game offers a fun challenge for players to test their word association skills and problem-solving abilities.
