The Daily Briefing and Responses from the NY Times Connections for January 3rd (#572)

Connections is a New York Times game that challenges you to find the connection between words. It may seem easy, but it's not—Categories of Connections can be almost anything, and they're generally quite specific. If you need help finding the answers, we are here to assist you.

What are Connections?

Connections is a New York Times game. The objective is simple: sort 16 words into groups of 4. Each group of words will be linked by an idea or common theme. This common element can be anything. We've seen everything, from games that depend on the number of letters in words to categories that require identifying an extra letter at the end of a word. Sometimes they refer to the economy, other times they refer to fairy tales. There is no guarantee of what type of association will be between the words.

Once you are sure of the connection, select 4 words, then press "Submit". You have a total of four attempts, so don't hesitate to be too curious.
