Today’s Connections answer is clues to help you solve it

Unlike our guide to today’s Wordle answerwhere we recommend the best Wordle starters as your strategy, solving the connections relies on identifying connecting categories among the 16 words. The difficulty level of each category is indicated by color; yellow is the easiest to group and purple is the most difficult. When you have made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.

If you need hints to solve the groups, here are the topics of each group in order of difficulty:

Yellow: Saw in the kitchen
Green: Group of advisors
Blue: Basic exercises
Violet: Types of earrings

Here’s a bigger tip: Today, take a look around your kitchen, check your jewelry drawer, tighten your abs and turn to the chalkboard.

Today’s Connections Answers

So what are today’s Connections answers for game #510?

Drum roll please…

Saw in the kitchen: Counter, refrigerator, stove, sink
Group of consultants: Board, cabinet, council, panel
Basic exercises: Boat, crunch, climber, board
Types of earrings: Chandelier, drop, hoop, pin

We started today’s puzzle when I saw the board and the cabinet. I thought they meant the group that led to the council. It took a while to see the panel, but we got there.

From there, kitchen items with a refrigerator, a sink and a worktop popped out. For some reason I chose the chandelier over the range, which was a poor choice. They changed their places and got a yellow group.

Oops, the chandelier led me to the hoop and pin where I attached the earring. We have to get off from there.

This left us with the blue group as the last fill. I had seen the crunch, plank, and mountain climber much earlier in the puzzle, but I had no idea what the fourth exercise was called. I’m familiar with the boat pose, but never knew the name of it.

Yesterday’s Connections Answers

Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #509, which had a difficulty rating of 2.6 out of 5, according to Connections Companion.

From the jump, I was looking for a tip related to netting, as I had netting and butterfly netting as options. He quickly fell away.

Holding on, I really crawled and crawled and eventually inch towards the yellow group. I can see why drag and drop works here, but it’s too different from the other three words in my opinion.

The draft and tap stuck out further to me, making it easier to find the bottle and can as ways to drink the beer.

I’m stuck here because I saw the butterfly effect and the placebo effect, but I didn’t know about the domino effect or the halo effect until today. The domino effect is not explained, choices or events create a chain reaction of events and choices. The halo effect is when someone has positive associations with a person, brand, or thing and because of that, starts having positive thoughts about related nouns. The more you know.

Anyway, in my quest to figure this out, a cheese ball and a cheese leaf somehow came to mind. Shortly after that came Curl and doodle just because it didn’t fit anywhere I could think of.

And we’re done with the aforementioned effects to fill in by heart.
