New to Connections Unlimited? It's the New York Times' addictive word puzzle that drops fresh every day, challenging you to sort 16 words into four themed groups of four. Categories ramp up in trickiness: yellow (breezy basics), green (a bit more thought), blue (clever links), and purple (mind-melter). No timers, just pure association fun—think synonyms, idioms, or pop culture nods.
Spoiler alert: If you haven't tried puzzle #833, pause here! Below, we've grouped the words by color, with quick explanations to reveal the "why" behind each. This'll sharpen your eye for tomorrow's edition.
Everyday phone magic: Pinch to zoom in on pics, scroll through feeds, swipe to unlock, and tap to select. A nod to our screen-addicted lives—yellow's always a quick win for tech natives.
All about unwinding: Chill out with Netflix, loaf around the house, lounge by the pool, or veg on the sofa. Perfect for that post-Sunday brunch haze—green keeps the mellow flowing.
Where to park for pasta or pints: Belly up to the bar, snag a cozy booth, grab counter stools, or claim a table for two. Blue's got that familiar diner charm—easy if you've ever played musical chairs at Olive Garden.
The purple brain-teaser: Drop the first letter/sound, and voila—veggie vibes! Kale → Ale, Leek → Eek, Chive → Hive, Squash → Quash. Wordplay wizardry that'll have you groaning (and grinning) at the cleverness.
