Today’s Connections Category Hints
APRIL 04 #663
If you are looking for some hints, this is the place for you. I had a hard time with two specific categories, and I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong. As it turned out, I was fairly close,but I just missed the right answers a number of times. That being said, I can now help you with the knowledge of where I went wrong in mind. I always like putting the hints together, and I think I’ve come up with some good ones to help you solve the puzzle today:
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.
If you are still looking for some way to get the rest of the puzzle unlocked,checking out the category names is a good idea. You can also follow up later with the spoilers if you need to, but I find knowing just the names is very helpful.
REMAINDER
REST
This is actually one of the categories I struggled with, as to me the words meant something different when I was looking at them. For instance,I put TRADE with the majority of these words as opposed to RESTbecause that was what my mind associated with them as I was solving the puzzle. I also thought BALANCE should go with HARMONY, so I tried to group BALANCE, DIFFERENCE, TRADE, and HARMONY at least twice. In the end, I was able to get extremely close to the right answer, but just not close enough for the win.
RIDE
SPIN
I did get this category and nearly right away as I thought all of these words went together really well. I did accidentally hit a different word with my clumsy finger than I thought I did,which was my own fault and the result of poor balance more than anything. Still, the point remains that at one point in my life I wouldn’t have wanted to just go on a DRIVE, mainly because we spent a lot of time traveling 12 hours in a car back-and-forth a lot. Now, however, I can see why they are a peaceful type of trip to many people.
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.
PARK
STADIUM
This one confused me for a moment, but only a moment, as I searched for the last word in the category. I find it’s very easy to let your eyes skip over something crucial in aConnectionspuzzle. However, it is easier to recognize your mistakes after a while,and it is nice to feel relief when you do find the last word you were looking forand can finish up a category without much trouble. It is much more frustrating, however, when you miss something that I did in the next category.
INK
TRADE
I don’t think I would have gotten there in the end with this one, as even if I recognized the two easiest, BAY and HARMONY, for what they were, I don’t know if I would have gotten the others. I do think I would have gotten TRADE,but I had no idea what “eink” was until I looked it up when the puzzle was over. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes you just come across something new. It’s why I’m here to help you with the ones you don’t recognize!
