Answers For Today’s NYT Connections (December 4) With Words Meaning
After closely analyzing today’s Connections words, the first four that came to my mind were Direct, Guide, Lead, and Shepherd.
Each of the words I collected seems to connect with guide/steer, where Shepheard is a person who tends, herds, feeds, or guards flocks of sheep.
So, after grouping out the words, I got the first yellow group titled “Steer.”
Helen And Pan Meaning In NYT Connections
Moving on to the remaining words, I chose Helen, as I was quite certain that the group, including Helen, is somehow related to Greek mythology.
Helen is a feminine name of Greek origin that means light or touch. It can also mean shining or warming.
So, looking for words related to Greek mythology, I picked Pan, Atlas, and Echo.
In Greek mythology, Pan is the God of the wild, shepherds and flocks, rustic music and impromptu, and the companion of the nymphs.
Atlas refers to the God of strength and endurance; meanwhile, Echo is an Oread who resided on Mount Cithaeron.
Later, after grouping out the words, I got the Blue group titled “Figures in Greek Myth.”
Moving on to the remaining words, I picked a Turntable, Compass, Pine Tree, and Sewing Kit. Each of those words seems to have pointed ends.
With these assumptions, I got the green group titled ” Things With Neddle/S.”
All Answers For NYT Connections #542 With Loofah And Johnson Meaning
With only four words remaining, I was sure each of these words fit in the same group, but I could not figure out how exactly. My initial thought was that each word related to an item used in bathrooms.
Loofah (Luffa Sponge) is the fibrous interior of the fruit, dried and used as a sponge to wash the body.
On the other hand, toiletries are articles used for washing and caring for one’s body, such as soap, shampoo, and toothpaste.
Meanwhile, Johnson in today’s Connection referred to Johnson’s Baby Bubble Bath or Wash soap.
Later, after grouping out the words, I got the title “Starting With Synonyms Of Lavatory.“
So, if you analyze each of these words closely, you will see how they relate to the title: Loofah refers to Loo, Toiletries refers to Toilet, Candel refers to Can, and Johnson refers to John.
Finally, getting the last purple group, I managed to complete today’s Connection game with the following answers;
- Steer (Yellow): Direct, Guide, Lead, Shepherd
- Figures In Greek Myth (Blue): Atlas, Echo, Helen, Pan
- Things With Needle/S (Green): Compass, Pine Tree, Sewing Kit, Turntable
