The New York Times’ Connections gives you 16 different words and your goal is to sort them into four secret categories. Pick four words or phrases that could be related and, if correct, it will group them into their common association, or connection, if you will. Each category has its own color, with Yellow being the easiest to solve, then Green, Blue, and the hardest, Purple. The categories can range from car brands or Jane Austen novels to Spring flowers or words with British spelling. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
With today’s Connections, like yesterday, we have some challenging and long words that can trip you up if you’re not careful. It’s good to remember that many words can have multiple meanings, so pay attention to them as you see any matches and try not to look for the obvious unless it only has one meaning. For April 30th, the words in today’s Connections are as follows: Heel, Room, Dynasty, Face, Gimmick, Standing, Seating, Mildew, Upper, Sole, Regard, Chairs, Capacity, Engross, Tongue, and Image.
If you don’t want to spoil the answers to each category but would like a hint, here is one for each of them:
- Yellow: They’ve got your feet covered
- Green: We’ve got you covered
- Blue: Popularity counts
- Purple: A disgusting end (of words)
If you want to know the correct themes for today’s Connections, here are the categories:
