Sometimes they’re obvious, but game editor Wyna Liu knows how to trick you by using words that fit into more than one group. Read on to find out today’s Connections tips and answers.

How to play Connections

Playing is easy. Winning is hard. Look at the 16 words and mentally organize them into groups of four. Click on the four words you think go together. The groups are color-coded, but you won’t know what goes where until you see the answers. The yellow group is the easiest, then green, then blue, and purple is the hardest. Look carefully at the words and think of related terms. Sometimes the connection has to do with only part of the word. Once four words were grouped because each started with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
