Today’s Connections Category Hints
JULY 18 #402
We have a few tips before we start spoiling answers and categories, so pay close attention if you want to solve the puzzle without full-on cheating:
If those hints are not enough, or you just want to ensure you get it right, we have all the answers you need below:
SQUARE
YARD
The easier of the categories today, it is all about places out in the open that people traditionally gather in.Whether it is for shopping, spending some time on the lawn, or even playing a game, these are the places to do it. COURT usually refers to a space dedicated to games. PLAZA and SQUARE have very similar meanings as public gathering spaces. YARD can be small or large but it is still a fun place to gather casually and enjoy good weather when you have it.
MATCH
ROUND
While many of these terms can used to mean various sporting or competitive events, they have chosen to specify that they are all boxing-related. CONTEST and MATCH certainly feel like very similar terms, but BOUT and ROUND might be more specific. That being said,as long as you recognize that these could all be part of some sort of competition, you should get it without having to know anything about boxing. After all, we did.
Wordle History: Today’s Answer & All Past Words
Wordle is a simple daily word game that has taken the internet by storm. With only 6 chances to get the right answer, players may need a little help.
POMP
RITZ
This category is where we made a couple of mistakes: namely, that we were fairly certain SPARKLES belonged here. After all, it seems to go with the POMP & circumstance displayed by the rest of the words, and it seemed to us to make more sense than FLASH did.We kept getting the “One Away” hint, not realizing SPARKLES did not belong here. One noticeable hint that it did not fit here is the ’s' at the end, none of the other words here are plural.
SKULL
SPARKLES
We actually don’t know what most of the Emoji are called, so this one stumped us a bit and was part of the reason we kept putting SPARKLES in the other category. While the hint would have helped us eliminate SPARKLES from the previous category, it would have also seemingly eliminated it from this one.Determining where FLASH belongs is your best bet to solving this one on your own, and is something to learn from in future puzzles - for us as much as anyone.
