Hints for Connections #292
Use these clues before looking at the categories and word sets below.
- One group contains words that can intensify what follows them.

- For the last pattern, remove the final “y” from each word and see what body part remains.
Connections #292 answers
The March 29, 2024 puzzle is identified as #292 by Try Hard Guides and the Connection Hints archive. Both list these four categories and word sets:
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| ESPECIALLY | MIGHTY, PRETTY, REALLY, VERY |
| DISNEY CHARACTERS | DAISY, GOOFY, HAPPY, LADY |
| KINDS OF BLUE | BABY, NAVY, SKY, TIFFANY |
| BODY PARTS PLUS “Y” | ARMY, COLONY, LIVERY, SHINY |
How the trickiest group works
In BODY PARTS PLUS “Y,” remove the final “y” to reveal ARM, COLON, LIVER, and SHIN. The resulting words are ARMY, COLONY, LIVERY, and SHINY. This describes the visible word pattern; it is not presented as official editor commentary.

How to approach a Connections grid
Try Hard Guides describes the game as grouping four words that share a connection, with up to four mistakes allowed. For a grid like this one, check whether apparent themes overlap: a familiar name or a word that fits a category may also be serving a different wordplay pattern. Once a relationship seems plausible, test all four words against it before committing.
