I need an answer for May 2nd New York Times Links Puzzle? Me, Wordle is more of a vocabulary test but Connections is more of a brain tester. You are given 16 words and you have to put them into four groups that are somehow related. Sometimes they are obvious, but the game editor knows how to trick you by using words that can fit into more than one group.
How to play Connections?
Playing is easy, winning is hard. Look at the 16 words and mentally put them into related groups of four. Click on the four words you think go together. The groups are color-coded, although you don’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 link is only part of the word. Four words were once grouped because each began with the name of a rock band – including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman”.
