Connections #343 answers
The puzzle’s 16 words are SQUARE, PAIR, LOADED, DICE, FLUSH, BURY, CUBE, CURRENT, STRAIGHT, LEACHY, STUFFY, CHOP, RICH, MINCE, TRADITIONAL, and WEALTHY. The intended groups are:
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| Affluent | FLUSH, LOADED, RICH, WEALTHY |
| Cut into pieces | CHOP, CUBE, DICE, MINCE |
| Old-fashioned | SQUARE, STRAIGHT, STUFFY, TRADITIONAL |
| Fruit homophones | PAIR (pear), CURRENT (currant), BURY (berry), LEACHY (lychee) |
Why the fruit group can be tricky
The final category relies on how the words sound: PAIR points to pear, CURRENT to currant, BURY to berry, and LEACHY to lychee. These are the puzzle’s intended sound-alike matches, though pronunciations can vary by accent; some players questioned whether BURY/berry and LEACHY/lychee sound alike in their speech.
