In Sunday’s Connections game, players were presented with a grid of 16 words and tasked with arranging them into four groups of four based on the links between them. The groups were color coded, with the purple group typically being the most difficult to deduce. Players could shuffle the words to help see connections and submit their guesses, being careful not to make more than four mistakes or it would be game over.
Today’s hints for the Connections groups included descriptions such as “painful to make contact with” for the yellow group and “a procession of delicacies” for the green group. After some careful consideration and deduction, the groups were revealed to be sore to the touch, restaurant courses, animal homophones, and red ____. The answers for each group were DELICATE, RAW, SENSITIVE, TENDER for the yellow group, DESSERT, MAIN, SIDE, STARTER for the green group, BARE, DEER, MOUSSE, NEW for the blue group, and CARPET, DELICIOUS, MEAT, TAPE for the purple group.
The player shared their experience of playing the game, mentioning that they were able to figure out the green and yellow groups quite easily. The blue group became clear to them after verbalizing the word MOUSSE and realizing it likely referred to a dessert. The player struggled with the purple group initially but eventually deduced that “red delicious” was likely a type of apple, completing the game successfully.
