Why the cat group can be tricky
SHED completes the cat-actions group with KNEAD, PURR, and SCRATCH. CREAM and STRING may initially look like they belong with cats, but they instead pair with COTTAGE and GOAT to form types of cheese.
How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four groups of four based on a shared connection. The groups have different difficulty levels, and players can make up to four mistakes. The game is available through NYT Games on desktop or mobile. These puzzle details and the game #483 identification were reported by Marc McLaren in TechRadar’s October 5, 2024 guide.
