Today’s Connections Category Hints

APRIL 06 #665

If you are trying to figure out what the categories are, seeing a few hints to guide you in the right direction may help. I have a few different clues down below that you can use to do just that. This puzzle is interesting, as is any puzzle where the yellow category is not the first one I see. That usually makes me quite nervous, but this one wasn’t quite as bad as I feared once I saw a key word.

• One category is about words that describe someone who is not as social as others
• One category is about four things that will frustrate you when the end of the month comes
• One category is about four different things that all have to do with the same energy
• One category is about four words that come before another word in a phrase – that word is something that could describe a place or something most people have

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

This one nearly got me, for whatever reason, as I didn’t think COOL would go here for some reason my brain conjured up. Or perhaps my brain simply forgot that COOL could be a personality trait for a moment. Either way, I was able to salvage the situation eventually, but it was a near thing, and I was worried for a little bit that I would lose the streak I had just begun to reclaim. Luckily, that wasn’t the case, and I was able to get out of my sticky situation.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

This one just made feel nervous because these are the bane of my existence at the end and beginning of every month. I’m sure that many of you feel the same, but I was able to recognize it fairly easily once I came to it because of that anxiety. It is unfortunate, and I would like the world to be a place where these things aren’t quite as stressful and so recognizable upon sight, but that doesn’t look to be the case anytime soon.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

This one is very tied to the previous category, covering the one utility that wasn’t covered in that category. It made for a very stressful puzzle to be perfectly honest, and I wish the editors had at least separated these into separate puzzles with happier categories around them. It’s not the end of the world, and at least we have gotten them out of the way. It’s an odd puzzle all around, as you can tell from the last category.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

I don’t think I would’ve put this category together on my own if I hadn’t come to it last. Luckily, I did, and I am continuing to learn new things through Connections quite often. I have done some woodworking before, but I never had to make a joint, so I hadn’t heard of that use of the word DOVETAIL. I also hadn’t heard of SPIKE LEE’s movies in that particular phrase before either, but now I have, and it’s a fun new fact for me.
