Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend and getting ready for the week ahead. Today, I have a fun mental challenge for you to exercise your brain before you dive into your favorite games. The New York Times’ Connections puzzle is back with sixteen words that you need to group together based on a common theme or similarity. Take your time and think carefully before making your selections because some words have multiple meanings.
Let’s start with the yellow group. The visual clue for this group might give you a hint about the theme. If you’re still stuck, here’s a verbal clue: think about running away or leaving a place quickly. The answer to the yellow group is Turn Tail, and the words are FLEE, LEAVE, RETREAT, and WITHDRAW.
Moving on to the blue group, the visual hint may spark your eureka moment. If not, here’s a verbal clue: consider the pages you visit on the internet multiple times a day. The answer to the blue group is Pages On a Website, with the words ABOUT, CONTACT, HOME, and LOGIN.
Now, let’s tackle the green group. The visual clue is quite powerful and should point you in the right direction. If you need more help, think about what activities cats typically engage in. The answer to the green group is Things Cats Do, containing the words KNEAD, PURR, SCRATCH, and SHED.
Finally, we have the purple group, which is the most challenging. The visual hint may not immediately lead you to the answer, so here’s a verbal clue: think about a type of cheese that starts with the missing word. The answer to the purple group is ___ Cheese, and the words are COTTAGE, CREAM, GOAT, and STRING.
I hope you had fun solving the Connections puzzle today. Have a fantastic week, and I’ll see you next Saturday for more brain-teasing challenges.
