Saturday’s Connections game features 16 words that need to be grouped into four categories. The yellow group contains the answers KITTY, POOL, POT, and PURSE, which are all related to a type of fund. The green group consists of ACTION, CASE, CLAIM, and SUIT, which are all related to legal filings. The blue group is comprised of BASIN, BLUFF, CAPE, and PLAIN, which are all types of landforms. The purple group contains AQUARIUM, GEOMETRY, SUN, and TAMPA BAY, which are all connected by the theme of having rays.
To play the game, shuffling the words may help identify links between them. Each group is color-coded, with yellow typically being the easiest and purple often involving wordplay. The goal is to arrange four words into each group to earn points, but be careful as only one solution exists for each puzzle. Losing a life for incorrect answers or making four mistakes results in game over.
Kris Holt solved the game quickly, identifying the purple group with TAMPA BAY and leveraging his knowledge of The Kinks to determine Ray Davies was involved. He also recognized the blues connection to PLAIN, solving the second reverse rainbow in his series. His overall streak reached seven games, with a perfect score this time around.
