Connections Unlimited tasks players with sorting 16 words into four groups based on a shared theme. Each group is color-coded by difficulty: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest). Players select four words and submit their guess, with a limit of four mistakes before the game ends. The puzzle resets daily at midnight local time, offering a new challenge each day
Today’s puzzle features the following 16 words: Box, Point, Whopper, Scratch, Snicker, Plate, Mound, Whale, Mar, Stare, Mammoth, Ding, Base, Colossus, Dent, Whisper. Below are the hints and answers to guide you through the categories, ordered from easiest (yellow) to hardest (purple).
Yellow Category: Think about minor imperfections you might notice on a surface, like a car or your skin.
Green Category: These words describe things that are massive or enormous, some natural, some not.
Blue Category: Consider actions that might be considered impolite or dismissive in social settings.
Purple Category: Look for terms associated with a specific sport played on a diamond-shaped field.
Here are the complete solutions for today’s Connections puzzle #823:
Yellow Group: Blemish
Dent, Ding, Mar, Scratch
These words all describe minor surface damage or imperfections, like scratches on a car or dents on a can.
Green Group: Behemoth
Colossus, Mammoth, Whale, Whopper
This group refers to things that are huge, from extinct creatures (Mammoth) to a giant fish (Whale) to a Marvel superhero (Colossus) and a big burger (Whopper).
Blue Group: Rude Things to Do
Point, Snicker, Stare, Whisper
These are actions that can be considered impolite, like pointing at someone or whispering behind their back.
Purple Group: On a Baseball Field
Base, Box, Mound, Plate
These terms are all parts of a baseball field, such as the pitcher’s mound or home plate.
Today’s puzzle includes a potential trap: words like Whopper and Snicker might suggest a category related to food or candy, but there’s no such group. Stay focused on the true connections to avoid wasting guesses.
