Dicas e respostas do NYT Connections de hoje para 4 de agosto, #420 –

Need the answers for the New York Times Connections puzzle? To me, Wordle is more of a vocabulary test, but Connections is more of a brainteaser. You’re given 16 words and asked to put them into four groups that are somehow connected. Sometimes they’re obvious, but the game’s editor Wyna Liu knows how to trick you by using words that can fit into more than one group. Read on for today’s Connections hints and answers.

Here are four hints for the groupings in today’s Connections puzzle, ranked from the easiest, yellow group to the tough (and sometimes bizarre) purple group.

  • Yellow group hint: Fond names for little ones.
  • Green group hint: Count me in.
  • Blue group hint: Like eel, or Oolong.
  • Purple group hint: Think Davy Jones’ Locker.

The completed New York Times Connections puzzle for Aug. 4. The theme is kiddo. The four answers are buddy, champ, sport, and tiger. The theme is up for it. The four answers are amenable, down, game, and willing. The theme is beginning with double letters. The four answers are aardvark, eerie, llama, and ooze. The theme is nicknames for the sea, with “the.” The four answers are blue, briny, deep, and drink.

Playing is easy. Winning is hard. Look at the 16 words and mentally assign them to related groups of four. Click on the four words you think go together. The groups are coded by color, though you don’t know what goes where until you see the answers. The yellow group is the easiest, then green, then blue, and purple is the toughest. Look at the words carefully and think about related terms. Sometimes the connection has to do with just a part of the word. Once, four words were grouped because each started with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
