Today's Connections Answers
The Yellow Category - Enthusiastic Expressions
The first category I spotted was words associated with enthusiasm:
Zest
Gusto
Relish
Passion
These words all express doing something with excitement and energy. That was a solid yellow group!
The Blue Category - Rectangular Prisms
Next, I noticed that some of these objects have a distinct shape:
Microwave
Brick
Shoebox
Fish tank
They’re all rectangular prisms. This seemed a little odd at first, but when you picture them, the similarity becomes quite striking. And yes, that turned out to be the blue category!
The Green Category - Ways to Say "Many"
Now for the third group, I spotted some words that represent "many" in different languages:
Beaucoup (Japanese)
Mucho (Spanish)
Multi (Latin root for "multiple")
Molto (Italian)
I guessed "vary," but the actual category was "many in different languages." Close enough—I’ll give myself half a point for that one!
The Purple Category - Words That Rhyme with U.S. Coins
Now, this was the real head-scratcher. The remaining words were:
Jenny
Mortar
Lime
Pickle
After struggling for a while, the answer turned out to be words that rhyme with U.S. coins:
Jenny → Penny
Lime → Dime
Mortar → Quarter
Pickle → Nickel
I didn’t see that one coming! Mortar and quarter were a bit of a stretch for me, but hey, no complaining in Connections! It’s always fun to see how these groups come together.
Final Score and Wrap-Up
I ended up with about 2.5 to 3 points, depending on how generous I’m feeling with my "vary" vs. "many" guess. Not too bad!
How did you do? Let me know in the comments! As always, thanks for playing along. See you tomorrow for another round of Connections!
