ForbesNew connections suggest today: clues, reply to Tuesday 11th February

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

My partner took me to a spa for the past weekend and we had fun. It was my first time on a spa and I am mad at myself to live … the particular number of years that I have been on this earth without ever going to one. She had a massage, but I adhered to the water cycle, which was relaxing enough of herself.

I think it helped both of us relax a little. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

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 12 will be 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.

What are today’s connections answer?

Spoiler Alert! No longer roll down the page before you are ready to find out the day’s Connections Answer.

This is your last warning!

Today’s Connections The answers are …

  • Yellow Group – Documents of Ownership (Certificate, Deed, Reception, Title)
  • Green Group – Bits in a -speciation Show (Dance, Monologue, Sketch, Song)
  • Blue group – props for grades on The Simpsons (Donut, Pacifier, Saxophon, Skateboard)
  • Purple Group – Start with “Shake, Rattle and Roll” (Shakespeare, Rattlesnke, Android, Roller magazines)

I could have had a reverse rainbow here, but I take a perfect game and a sixth straight victory. This is how I managed:

I discovered two groups right away, which turned out to be yellow and greens. When he looked elsewhere, Shakespeare, Rattlesnake and Roller magazines made sense to me since they began with “Shake”, “Rattle” and “Roll” respectively, but I wasn’t too sure they would form three quarters of a group .

Given that, I figured I might as well submit the green, then yellow to try and at least get a perfect game. But when I was down to only eight remaining words, it immediately became obvious that there was a group of things related to The Simpsons. I suspected it would be blues, so I sent through what turned out to be the purple first.

My original suspicion was correct! I was even more annoyed that I didn’t get that group because these words were on the top line of the grid at the start of the game. They were even in the right order. SUKK.

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 There is really only one way to go to today’s song recommendation. I prefer Bill Haley & The Comets’ version of “Shake, Rattle and Roll” to those of Big Joe Turner and Elvis. It feels like there is an extra level of energy in this:

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