How Connections works
Connections presents 16 words to sort into four groups of four. You submit a group to check it, and the guides for this puzzle describe an allowance of up to four mistakes. One guide also describes the game as resetting at midnight local time. These mechanics are reported by the answer guides, not confirmed here through an official NYT rules page.
Answers for Connections #237
Full answer spoilers below.
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION | AGENCY, COMPANY, ENTERPRISE, FIRM |
| FARM FIXTURES | COOP, PEN, STABLE, STY |
| CLASSIC DOG NAMES | FLUFFY, REX, ROVER, SPOT |
| COLORS MINUS THEIR FIRST LETTERS | INK, LACK, OLD, RANGE |
Why the last group fits
Restore the first letter of a color to each word: INK becomes PINK, LACK becomes BLACK, OLD becomes GOLD, and RANGE becomes ORANGE. Removing those initial letters leaves the four answers in the puzzle.
