ForbesToday’s NEW ‘Connections’ tip and answer for Tuesday 19 NovemberBy Chris Holt

Hey there! It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another round Connections!

In case you’re wondering, regular readers, yes, Scotland beat Poland on Monday in an important soccer-non-soccer game. I am very pleased that the results are starting to fall in line with our recent good performances. I just wish we didn’t have to wait until March for our next international. It would be nice to maintain this confidence and momentum!

Today’s NEW Connections advice and answers for Wednesday 20 November will come straight up.

How Connections plays

Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. 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 into four groups of four by finding out the connections between them. The groups can be things like clickable items, names of research study participants, or words with a body part in front.

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

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

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

If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with some tips and if you’re really struggling, today’s is Connections answer. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chat.

If you have one NEW Free access or Spil subscription you can access Connections file. This includes all previous games of Connectionsso you can go back and play any of them you 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 for which you need clues or the answers to the search query.

Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll down the page any further until you’re ready to find out today Connections answer.

This is your last warning!

Today’s Connections the answers are…

  • Yellow group – sounds like a dog (BARK, BAY, WOWL, SNARL)
  • Green group — broadcast as online media (AIR, PLAY, RUN, STREAM)
  • Blue group – verbs for making cocktails (GARNISH, MUDDLE, STIR, STRAIN)
  • Purple group — organizational structures, metaphorical (CHAIN, LADDER, PYRAMID, TREE)

Not a perfect game, but I’m up to four wins in a row. Here’s how I managed:

Seeing PLAY and STREAM close together helped the greens to quickly form in my brain. I wasn’t quite sure what would go with HOWL, BARK and SNARL though. I tried a guess with STRAIN and I was one off. Damn it.

I stepped away from my computer for a minute to recalibrate and fill my water bottle (remember to hydrate!). As soon as I got back, I spotted the purple ones. I didn’t think those four words would make up the hardest group on the table, but alas.

After that I realized where I had gone wrong with the yellows. I got that group and then the blues (which should have been straightforward in retrospect) to extend my streak.

PS I like Paramore’s cover of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House”. David Byrne returned the favor with a fantastic version of “Hard Times”. They pack a potent (and more importantly, fun!) one-two punch:
