How to Guess Connections Groups
While there’s no foolproof formula for solving Connections like there is with Wordle, here are some strategies to keep in mind:
- Examine Parts of Speech:
Check whether words are verbs, nouns, or adjectives. Grouping them by similar grammatical roles can reveal hidden connections. - Consider Synonyms:
Sometimes the words in a category are simply synonyms or closely related terms. However, be cautious—Connections may include words that deliberately mislead by seeming to be synonymous. - Say the Words Out Loud:
Vocalizing the words can sometimes make the connections more obvious. For instance, a set of words related to motion might include options like go, move, hurry, and faster—only some of which you’d naturally use to prompt someone to get moving. - Beware of Red Herrings:
The game often includes words that could plausibly be grouped together but are actually misdirections. For example, words like Bud, Corona, and Light might tempt you to group them as beer-related, even though they don’t belong in the same category. - Look for Unique Meanings:
Focus on words that have only one clear meaning—they can serve as a strong basis for one of the groups. - Shuffle the Board:
Rearranging the words on your screen or paper might help you view them from a new perspective and notice hidden patterns.
Remember, if you don’t solve today’s puzzle, don’t worry—there’s always tomorrow! Once you’re confident about the connection, select four words and hit “Submit.” You only have four attempts, so choose wisely.
Happy puzzling, and good luck uncovering today’s connections!
