| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| CAREEN | HEAVE, LURCH, PITCH, REEL |

Why the groups can be tricky
Some words have plausible alternate associations: PITCH and REEL can suggest other meanings, while HOUSE may look like an ordinary noun rather than a music genre. For the last group, add “ash” before each answer: ash blond, ash tray, ash tree, and Ash Wednesday.

How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four groups of four. The groups are commonly indicated by colors, from yellow for more straightforward connections to purple for trickier ones, and players may make up to four mistakes, according to a dated game guide. This is general game context, not a clue to a different day’s board.
