Dicas e respostas do NYT Connections de hoje para 18 de agosto, #434 –

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 game 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. Want more game answers? Here’s the Wordle answer for today, and here’s the answer for Strands.

  • Playing is easy. Winning is hard.
  • Look at the 16 words and mentally assign them to related groups of four.
  • The groups are coded by color, though you don’t know what goes where until you see the answers.

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.” 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: Time to wake up.
Green group hint: Maybe we could…
Blue group hint: ET ate these.
Purple group hint: Fairy-tale guys with shortened names.

  • Yellow group: Alarm-clock buttons.
  • Green group: Here’s a thought…
  • Blue group: Candy pieces.
  • Purple group: Seven dwarfs minus last letter.
