What are the answers for Connections #905?
The 16 words divide into four groups: APPROXIMATE, MILD OATHS, MLB PLAYER, and FAMILY MEMBER NICKNAME PLUS A LETTER.
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| APPROXIMATE | BALLPARK, BROAD, GENERAL, ROUGH |
| MILD OATHS | FRICK, FUDGE, SHOOT, SUGAR |
| MLB PLAYER | ANGEL, MET, RAY, ROYAL |
| FAMILY MEMBER NICKNAME PLUS A LETTER | BROW, DADA, MOMA, SISI |
How each group fits
Yellow: APPROXIMATE
BALLPARK, BROAD, GENERAL, and ROUGH can each describe an estimate or something that is not exact. “Ballpark” is also commonly used to mean an approximate figure.
Green: MILD OATHS
FRICK, FUDGE, SHOOT, and SUGAR are softened exclamations or substitutes for stronger oaths.
#1 Best Overall
Blue: MLB PLAYER
The category label is MLB PLAYER, but the words are best understood as team-name words: ANGEL points to the Los Angeles Angels, MET to the New York Mets, RAY to the Tampa Bay Rays, and ROYAL to the Kansas City Royals.
Purple: FAMILY MEMBER NICKNAME PLUS A LETTER
Each word adds one letter to a familiar family nickname: BRO + W makes BROW, DAD + A makes DADA, MOM + A makes MOMA, and SIS + I makes SISI. These are wordplay constructions, not a list of literal family members.
