Today’s Connections Category Hints
AUGUST 2 #417
For today’s puzzle, we have hints about the categories you need to solve it. These can help you construct the different categories on your own first before glancing at the spoilers.
If you still need a few more hints, we have the category names as well, which might be all you need to finish the puzzle.
TEST
TRY
This is a testy category in that it is all about things that TEST your patience.TRY and STRAIN both felt like they belonged, while TAX was the late entry for me today. However, I still managed to guess this category first, as it felt fairly straightforward compared to the others. While the others were more complicated, this one was much more simplistic.
SCRATCH
SPIN
Depending on your experience with DJs and how they work, this one might confuse you. SAMPLE stands out as not obviously fitting in from a general cultural idea of how DJs work. This can make it a little harder to form the category, and you willhave to pay close attention to the next two categoriesto ensure you are not taking something from one of them.
Wordle History: Today’s Answer & All Past Words
Wordle is a simple daily word game that has taken the internet by storm. With only 6 chances to get the right answer, players may need a little help.
POSSESSIVE
PRESENT
The word PRESENT appears to be present in quite a fewConnectionspuzzles lately. This time, it is simply here to be atype of adjective, as opposed to having a separate meaning. These words are hard to put together if you do not have the category name because while POSSESSIVE and PRESENT might seemingly go together, DIRECT and IRREGULAR do not have the same immediate response. You will fortunately not have to parse this one out like we did.
LUSH
NAUSEOUS
This one is also tricky without knowing what the category is. These are all obvious if you know what the puzzle is trying to go for, as they areall often associated with the color green, but figuring that out without that nudge is quite difficult. However, the last category is sometimes the easiest if you get to it last, as you will only have to pick the last four words and submit them.
