NYT Connections Answers For Today (March 4)
In Connections, players group words into four categories: Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, with each category increasing in difficulty.
Players should begin by analyzing the given words and looking for common themes they may share.
For instance, Dewy, Fresh, Glowing, and Smooth all describe healthy skin using different adjectives.
Since the four words share a common theme, they form a category in today’s NYT Connections called “Adjectives for Nice Skin.“
“Thatch” Meaning In NYT Connections
Moving forward, we find another set of words synonymous with each other, all associated with messy hair.
Mat, Mop, Tangle, and Thatch are all words used to describe the disorganization of an individual’s hair.
Although thatch has several meanings, in this context, it refers to a mass of thick or untidy hair.
Pairing these four words together forms the second group in the game, the green group, called “Mess of Hair.“
This leaves us with eight words, which players must carefully arrange into two different groups.
