Connections是什么？

Connections 是来自纽约时报的一款游戏。目标很简单：将16个单词分成4组。每组单词将通过某个共同的想法或主题连接在一起。这个共同元素可以是任何东西。我们见过依赖单词字母数量的游戏，也见过需要你注意到单词末尾多出一个字母的类别。有时候它们是关于经济学的引用，有时候是关于童话故事的引用。无法预测单词之间会有怎样的关联。一旦你确定理解了连接关系，选择4个单词，然后点击“提交”。你总共只有四次机会，所以不要太依赖猜测。 今日会议提醒以下是540th Connections游戏的几个提示，帮助你入门：

• Yellow: When you want everyone to know something.
• Green: Involving something like a hammer, but softer.
• Blue: A design you'd find on something you wear.
• Purple: The missing word can also mean cut.

如果你仍然需要帮助，实际的组名是：

• Yellow: Announce
• Green: Things Involving Mallets
• Blue: Icon Embroidered on a Polo Shirt
• Purple: ___ Clip

1. Look for similar parts of speech. Are some words verbs and others nouns? Are some adjectives? Try mentally grouping them based on those categories and see if any other patterns jump out at you.
2. Are the words synonyms? Sometimes categories will just be synonyms for a phrase, or very close to synonyms. Don't rely too closely on this, though. Occasionally, Connections will deliberately throw in words that are sometimes synonyms to mislead you.
3. Try saying the words. Sometimes, saying the words helps. One puzzle we saw included the words go, rate, faster, clip, pace, speed, move, commute, and hurry—all of which are obviously related to the idea of motion. However, when you say them, it becomes a little more obvious that only four (go, move, hurry, faster) are things you'd actually say to prompt someone to get moving.
4. Expect the red herring. Connections usually has words that could be plausibly, yet incorrectly, grouped together. Take the words Bud, Corona, and Light, as an example. You might instinctively see those three words together and assume they're lumped together in a category related to beer—but they weren't.
5. Look for distinct words. If a word on your board doesn't have multiple meanings or can really only be used in one context, try using that word as the basis for a category.
6. Shuffle the board. Sometimes, moving words around will help you look at them in new ways.
