Today’s Connections Category Hints
OCTOBER 03 #479
If you want to have the right guesses for each of these words,understanding subtleties is one of the main keys. There are a lot of possible solutions, but only one way to get a perfect score. To help you achieve that score, we have clues to help you recognize what the categories are before you look at their names:
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.
After you have examined the clues and the words, if you still need a helping hand, you can check out all the category names listed below.
PUNCH
SODA
The main part of this category that might prove tricky is the word WATER. It is a very common beverage, after all, but it does not go in this category. Otherwise, PRUNE might trick some players, as it is a type of juice, but it ismuch more specific than the other beverages listed here. Once I had water firmly placed in another category, it was much easier to put these four words together without any issues, although PUNCH did have me thinking it went with SMITE and SOCK for a moment.
PRUNE
WATER
I got this category first, although I had a couple of wrong guesses before I got this one. That was mainly due to SMITE and SOCK as mentioned above, but luckily I pivoted and looked for something else. Seeing POT and PRUNE as I looked over the words caught my attention, and I realized thatWATER could be a verb as opposed to a nounhere. After that, it only took a few moments to look for FERTILIZE, and it was nice to finally see the green bar across the screen.
8 NYT Tiles Strategies To Score Huge Combos
The Tiles game for the New York Times mobile app asks you to use various strategies to pair matching visual patterns together to build huge combos.
SKI
SOCK
BOOKEND and EARBUD caught my attention as I looked for other possible categories. This is mainly because they do not look like they go with anything else at first glance, but as I thought about it, I realized thatthey were both items that usually had two that “bookended” something. Looking around, SOCK was another option that came in a pair, and I added in SKI last. This made me happy as I realized I was getting a lot better at recognizing some of the more subtle categories Connections makes use of.
SMITE
STICK
This one would be hard to recognize beforehand, and it would be quite impressive if you did. But figuring out thatall but one of the letters in each word spells out a bugis something that would take more effort to recognize. Luckily, I came to this one last time, but SMITE and STICK caused me some issues earlier in the puzzle. I was able to pivot fast enough to avoid losing to a false guess today, but I am not always that fortunate. My mistakes are your gain in this instance.
