Daily New York Times 'Links' Hints for August 4: Today's Puzzle Solutions and Answers
In today's edition of the popular daily word game, Connections from the New York Times, solvers are presented with a grid of 16 words that must be arranged into four groups. Each group is color-coded, with yellow typically being the easiest, purple the hardest, and blue and green falling in the middle.
Let's break down the groups and their corresponding categories:
Yellow Group (Arthropods) - APHID - BEETLE - MITE - TICK
Hint: Think of our six-legged friends that can be found crawling on plants and animals.
Blue Group - APPLE - COOKIE - EFFORT - VENDETTA
Hint: This group is related to the letter 'A'. Can you think of a common fruit that starts with this letter?
Green Group (Trees) - BEECH - CEDAR - PINE - YEW
Hint: These are tall, wooden structures that provide shelter for various creatures. Can you think of a common pine tree?
Purple Group - DECAY - EASY - GEO - ZITI
Hint: These words sound like two letters. For example, DECAY sounds like 'dee-ay'.
If you're stuck, don't worry! You can find hints for each group by clicking on the links provided within the Connections game. Remember, if a guess is incorrect, a life is lost, and if four mistakes are made, the game is over.
