Today’s Connections Category Hints
JUNE 9 #363
There are an interesting batch of categories for a SundayConnectionspuzzle, and it can be helpful to learn the names without spoiling the full answers for those who want to solve the puzzle themselves.
THROW HERE AND THERE
___ POTATO
SORE
UPSET
As soon as we saw BITTER and SORE we knew they were meant to be together. SALTY was included to rub in the wound a bit, and that would UPSET someone. It made us chuckle when we saw the grouping, wondering how much salt there was behind the scenes of this one. However, it was not the first category we solved this time around.
SPRINKLE
STREW
This was the first category we figured out, as SCATTER and SPRINKLE stood out amongst the other words right away. While a lot of the last two categories were a little unclear and SALTY might fit in as a red herring with them, these synonyms all felt cohesive and recognizable. Luckily we stuck to our gut instincts and guessed this one first, as otherwise we were very close to losing our streak because of sneaky SALTY.

The Spelling Bee puzzles created as a New York Times game build a streak of correct answers to get you more points, but they can be hard to keep.
ONION
PLYWOOD
We can for sure thank Shrek and the earlier skin-based layer connection to help us with this one. As we like to muse on these puzzles out loud to figure them out, we immediately started riffing onShrekand onions, before quickly realizing we had something there. EARTH and CAKE seemed the most layer-like of the options, and PLYWOOD fit in once we thought about grains representing layers.
HOT
SWEET
Boil ‘em, Mash ‘em, Stick ‘em in a stew is Sam Gamgee’s three favorite ways to eat potatoes, and we are thankful for his help in solving this puzzle. It saved Middle Earth and it saved our day as well. We may be couch potatoes instead of a fancier SWEET or HOT variety, but BAKED potatoes are our favorite way to eat them. Either way, we have finished the SundayConnectionspuzzle and are ready for more in the coming week.
