Gentle hints for Connections #433
Try to sort the 16 words before reading further. These clues point toward each group without giving away its category:
- One group is about ways of expressing yourself verbally.
- One group involves romantic affection.
- One group contains things you might find in a first-aid kit.
- One group consists of types of homes or architectural styles.
How to approach the board
Connections asks you to sort 16 words into four groups of four based on shared links. Some words may seem to fit more than one idea, so look for a complete set of four before committing. If the board feels stuck, shuffling the words can make a pattern easier to notice.
