If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty: 🟨 Yellow: Affect 🟩 Green: You got it! 🟦 Blue: Slang for money 🟪 Purple: Objects with the prefix "micro-" These hints should get you at least some of the way towards finding today's Connections answers. If not, then you can read on for bigger clues; or, if you just want to know the answer, then scroll down further. Here's a larger hint: Get emotional as you correctly nab the money for some micro technology. Today's Connections answers So, what are today's Connections answers for game #655? Drumroll, please... 🟨 Affect: Move, reach, sway, touch 🟩 You got it!: Bingo, correct, ding, right 🟦 Slang for money: Change, green, paper, scratch 🟪 Objets with the prefix "micro-": Chip, phone, scope, wave Today, got a bit harder and it took me a moment staring at the grid for anything to pop out to me. Thing that grabbed me first was scratch which I thought of money. That opened things up and I picked up paper, green and then change. Then we got things right with bingo, correct, and ding. From there I snagged the yellow group because I was not making the purple connection. This one was move, reach, sway, touch. Purple made me groan because it was one of those that I should have known. The last four were microchip, microphone, microscope, and microwave. Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Parts of a table setting: Fork, glass, napkin, plate 🟩 Increased with "up": Flew, rose, shot, thrust 🟦 Kinds of digital storage: card, cloud, disk, drive 🟪 Units of volume plus letter: Bounce, galleon, pinot, quartz Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #654, which had a difficulty rating of 3.2 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. I started the day seeing fork and napkin and was thinking of fancy dinner, probably inspired by pinot. From there I grabbed plate and glass for table settings. The grid shift helped me see cloud and drive for storage. That made it easier to lock in on card and disk. I still wasn't sure what the purple was here but took a strike putting together flew, shot, thrust and bounce. My focus was on putting pinot and rose together as drinks/wine and the four I picked were words meaning upward motion. I swapped bounce with rose as it was the only thing left that meant going up. At this point I'm fairly certain that if my life depended on sussing out a purple category where you need to remove a letter or add one to make it work I would die. I never saw the units of volume hidden in bounce (ounce), galleon (gallon), pinot (pint), and quartz (quart). Fortunately, it was my wrap up category.
