ForbesNew ‘Connections’ Today: Tip and Response to Tuesday, February 4By Kris Holt

It’s Wednesday and you know what it means: It’s time for another round of Connections!

Just because I still have a healthy hair hair and I am able to do so, I decided to start growing it out about 18 months ago. As you might imagine, there’s a lot of it now! I haven’t had long hair since I was a teenager, so I forgot how easy it can get in the way. It can be a problem when, for example, your hair starts dangling in your dinner. EW.

I solved this recently by starting using a hair band to hold my hair back. This thing cost me only a few dollars, but it’s a game change. My point is that it doesn’t always take much to improve your quality of life. Small things can make all the difference.

Before we begin, I have created a discussion group to Connections and this column On disagreement. You can chat about every game (and other topics) with me and other people. I am always interested in finding out how other people are approaching the game, so be with us! It’s funny.

It is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (!) Events that I root.

Today’s New Connections Tips and answers for Wednesday, February 5th coming right up.

How to Play Connections

Connections is a free, popular New York Times Daily word games. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on New Website or game -app.

You are presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them in four groups of four by finding out the connections between them. The groups can be things like topics you can click on, names for participants in research studies or words prior to a body part.

There is only one solution for each puzzle and you have to be careful when it comes to words that may fit into more than one category. You can mix the words to maybe help you see connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to find out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the hardest. The purple group often involves word games.

Choose four words you think go together and press send. If you guess and you’re wrong you lose a life. If you are close to having a correct group, you can see a message that tells you that you are a word away from getting it right, but you still need to find out which one to swap.

If you make four mistakes, it’s played over. Let’s make sure it doesn’t happen using some tips and if you really fight it is the day’s Connections Answer. As with Wordle And other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

If you have a New All access or play subscription you can access the publication Connections File. This includes every previous game of ConnectionsSo you can go back and play some of the ones you’ve missed.

Apart from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find my tips for each grid via Google if you need them! Just Click here And add the date of the game that you need clues or the answers to the search queries.

Nice, I got a perfect game today where I expanded my total victory traits to 23. Here’s how I managed:

No mess with this one when I secured my fourth reverse rainbow ever.

William stuck out like a sore thumb (though the William Tell reference on the top line was quite nice). The two things that immediately came to mind were William Wallace and Prince of Wales. But when I wrote the glossary, they crystallized the purple quickly in my mind. As we all learned from one of the smartest moments in Die hardBill can of course be short for William.

When the reverse rainbow was on the cards (word games definitely calculated), I took a moment to find out the rest of the groups. Blues jumped out on me next time, but I would have a little insurance (word gaming again calculated) that at least I would have a perfect game. I thought for a moment that giveaway could go with bonus and salary as in ways to receive money, but a cooler head prevailed. Blue, green and yellow earned me a pretty reverse rainbow.

That’s all that is for that for the day’s Connections tracks and answers. Be sure to check out my blog tomorrow for tips and solution for Thursday’s games if you need them.

PS I have had this one that got stuck in my head ever since I heard the on-stage band play an excerpt of it during the Grammy Awards on Sunday. Annie Lennox is a Scottish icon for both her music and her activism. As much as I love her work as part of eurythmics, “Walking On Broken Glass” can be my favorite song of hers:

Have a nice day! Become hydrated! Call someone you love!
