Today’s Connections Category Hints
JUNE 5 #359
Today’s puzzle had us thinking a little harder about what words went into which categories. Before we spoil all the answers, we provide the category names below so that you have everything you need to make an attempt on your own.
“AWESOME!”
SICK
SWEET
This one was a little tricky, mainly because KIND was the red herring for this category. However, once we connected SICK and COOL as both meaning “Awesome” we were able to pair it with NICE and SICK, and in that context KIND no longer fit in. It was the first category we were able to solve today.
STYLE
TYPE
Once KIND was revealed not to be in the previous category, it was easy to connect KIND, SORT, and TYPE. Looking at the other words, nothing else but STYLE seemed to fit and luckily we were correct. It was the easiest category to sort out for this puzzle simply because any other words that would have gotten mixed in were taken up by the previous one.

MESSAGE
POINT
From the beginning, we suspected that IDEA and MESSAGE went together. Once we had the other two categories sorted, we then looked back and figured out that POINT also belonged, and we got the gist of the category. We then realized DRIFT was the only word left that was able to fit in and hang out with the others.
TENDER
WING
Last but not least, we were able to solve this mostly due to the process of elimination. TENDER and WING stood out as belonging together but it was not immediately clear that RING and STICK belonged as well. And with that we had this puzzle solved! Perhaps not in record time but we were glad we managed to parse this one out.
