Spoiler-safe hints for Connections #465
- Yellow: Outdoor meeting place.
- Green: Special knowledge.
- Blue: Instagram has them too.
- Purple: SCOOB would be another.
Answers for September 18, 2024
Spoilers below: The category names and all 16 tiles are revealed here.
Yellow — Gathering spot outside a residence
DECK, PORCH, STOOP, YARD
Green — Lowdown
DISH, DOPE, INFO, SCOOP
Blue — Kinds of reels
BLOOPER, DEMO, HIGHLIGHT, SIZZLE
Purple — Cartoon dogs minus “Y”
DROOP, GOOF, LAD, SNOOP. Add a Y to each tile to get Droopy, Goofy, Lady and Snoopy. LAD is the shortened form of Lady, which makes the missing-letter pattern the key to this group.
How to solve this puzzle
- Start with the direct matches: DECK, PORCH, STOOP and YARD all describe places to gather outside a home.
- DISH, DOPE, INFO and SCOOP can each refer to information or the lowdown.
- BLOOPER, DEMO, HIGHLIGHT and SIZZLE are reel formats or types, with the Instagram hint pointing toward reels.
- For the trickiest set, consider whether adding one letter turns the remaining words into familiar names. Appending Y reveals the cartoon dogs.
