Tips for solving Connections
- Look for a complete set of four words that share a precise connection, rather than submitting a group based on a loose association.
- When words appear to fit more than one category, consider alternate meanings and test how your proposed group affects the remaining words.
- If you are stuck, use the remaining words to search for a less obvious pattern. For this puzzle, the last group depends on word endings rather than the full words’ meanings.
