Today’s Connections Category Hints
Date: May 4, #693
Some of the most effective strategies I employed while tackling today’s puzzle involved thinking about how I might phrase various words. This approach helped me identify which words felt out of place or were more colloquial, based on their definitions. For instance, when I pondered the word "jam," I considered whether I was referring to a food item or enjoying a music session.
Here are some helpful hints for today’s categories:
- One category involves descriptors of overcooked food.
- Another category features terms related to playing a specific type of instrument.
- One category revolves around items needed for brewing a specific kind of tea.
- Lastly, one category includes large entities in our solar system but with an additional letter added to them.
If you’re keen on diving deeper into clue-finding, exploring the category names can provide extra assistance. There are also spoilers for each category if you need to focus on one to complete your answers.
Today’s Connections Answers
Here’s a breakdown of today’s findings:
Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained
- Qualities of Overcooked Meat
- Chewy
- Dry
- Stringy
- Tough
This part of the puzzle was relatively easier for me, particularly since I had leftovers for lunch that were a bit dry. This reminded me that terms like Tough, Chewy, or Stringy effectively describe overcooked meat after you’ve had a chance to taste and evaluate its texture.
Green Answers: Revealed & Explained
- Play Some Electric Guitar
- Jam
- Noodle
- Shred
- Solo
I initially struggled with this category because I mistakenly connected terms like Solo with Star Wars. Once I realized that "solo" referred to a guitar solo, everything fell into place, allowing me to include Noodle as the final term.
Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained
- Ingredients in Bubble Tea
- Boba
- Milk
- Sugar
- Tea
Since I’m not a fan of bubble tea, this category took me more time to crack compared to the others. While I recognized that Milk and Sugar are typical additives in various drinks, my friends’ fondness for boba tea finally led me to guess Boba as the right term.
Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained
- Planets/Dwarf Planet with First Letter Changed
- Bluto
- Cars
- Darth
- Genus
I found this segment a bit tricky, but then I noticed how Genus and Bluto didn’t seem to connect. By recalling earlier puzzles, I realized I could remove the "B" from Bluto and the "G" from Genus, linking them to Pluto and Venus. This made it easier to see how Cars and Darth pointed toward Mars and Earth.
