NYT Connections Categories And Meaning For September 18
Grouping the words without any hints can be tricky and time-consuming in NYT Connections. Hence, we advise you to analyze each word before you begin the game.
As you go through each word, you’ll notice that words like Yard, Deck, Stoop, and Porch carry the same meaning.
Likewise, these words belong to the Yellow group. The actual name for the Yellow group is “gathering spot outside a residence.“
You should be able to proceed through the first group without much hassle. However, the difficulty increases for the second group.
Further, we advise the players to start noticing the parts of speech of the words. For the Green group, we noticed that Dish, Dope, Scoop, and INFO carry the same theme.
Likewise, the words in the Green group are related to the common theme, Lowdown. As you proceed through the Green group, the difficulty starts to increase gradually.
For the next set of words, notice that words like Blooper and Highlight are interrelated as both are multimedia terms.
Similarly, Demo and Sizzle are common terms in the multimedia industry. Group these words, and you’ll accomplish the Blue Group.
Moreover, the Blue group is titled “kinds of reels,” with each word denoting a form of short-form content.
Once you have completed the Blue group, you will be left with four words that automatically belong to the Purple group.
Similarly, words in the Purple group resemble the names of cartoon characters without the word ‘Y.’
