April 24 Connections Hints
The Connections April 24 puzzle isn’t as tricky as other days. There are, however, a few deceptive categories that can trip you up. Here are a few hints to get you thinking for today’s Connections.
- None of the categories today are words with the same meaning, just things in a similar category
- You won’t want to think in a customary way to find the green category
- It wouldn’t be a big stretch to include a kilt in the blue category
- Though it might be hard, try not to make a mountain of the purple category
Connections Answer Today
Ready for today’s Connections answer? Spoilers await just beyond this point! The solutions to this puzzle are:
- Taco Toppings (Yellow): cilantro, lime, onion, salsa
- Metric Prefixes (Green): kilo, mega, micro, pico
- Kinds of Skirts (Blue): mini, pencil, poodle, wrap
- Words with “Hill” (Purple): capitol, faith, foot, mole
This is a comparatively simple day, but finding today’s Connections answer still gave me quite a bit of trouble. I fixated pretty heavily on kilo and micro as parts of the metric system, but as a clueless American I can admit I had no idea that mega and pico fit into that category as well. Luckily, the taco toppings category was straightforward, and helped narrow down my other options.
April 23 Connections Hints
The April 23 Connections set has a lot of false connections that can throw you off track from the solution. If you’re having difficulties solving the last categories, here’s a few hints to guide you on your way:.
- There are two categories of words with the same meaning
- Security guards are pretty familiar with the yellow category
- Keeping water in mind will help you with the blue category
- Thinking of Sully as a pilot instead of a word meaning “soil” may guide you towards the purple category
Connections Answer April 23
Ready for the answer for this round of Connections? This is your last warning for spoilers beyond this point! The solutions to this puzzle are:
- Throw Out (Yellow): boot, bounce, eject, toss
- Terra Firma (Green): earth, ground, land, soil
- Seas (Blue): baltic, black, philippine, red
- Tom Hanks Movies (Purple): big, Philadelphia, splash, sully
The first two categories of synonyms are relatively easy solves, but the last two today were pretty tough. I personally almost never think of proper nouns in Connections, but I knew something was up seeing both Baltic and Philadelphia as options in the puzzle today. Luckily, I was able to make the connection with black, red, and baltic, then took a shot in the dark guess that Philippine fit in as well. Finally, I was left with the Tom Hanks films as my last category. Hopefully, with our hints, you were able to solve today’s puzzle!
