9 Helpful Tips To Beat The Password Game (& 1 Useless One)
The Password Game can be frustrating as it uses complex mechanics that can be difficult to figure out, even with help.
While these clues can be helpful, there is nothing quite like having the names of the categories to speed your puzzling on its way. This often helps youdistinguish between a category you are close to and one you are misled by, which is extremely valuable information in a puzzle like this.
___ CHEESE
RETREAT
WITHDRAW
This first category is distinct in the sense that it is the one category that focuses more on similar definitions rather than an outside association. For me, it was seeing RETREAT and LEAVE that made it easier to solve this one as I began looking for other similar words. I saw FLEE next, whichinformed me that this was more about the verb rather than going on a retreat or a leave, and that led me to the last word, WITHDRAW. That made me fairly confident, and it turned out to be correct when I submitted my guess.
SCRATCH
SHED
This was the first category I solved today and one which I attribute to my cats, asthese are all things they do quite frequently. As I attempted to solve this puzzle, one of them jumped into my lap and started to PURR. I do prefer to call their KNEADing “making biscuits” but I suppose the proper word will do in a professionally made puzzle. SHED is perhaps the hardest word to put here when you are unsuspecting, but I have seen enough cat hair fill up my vacuum to add that in quickly.
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.
HOME
LOGIN
By the time I got to this category, things were a little easier with the words that remained. Seeing CONTACT and HOME were the biggest hints, but then I had to find the others. ABOUT was the next obvious choice, and the only word left that made any sense was LOGIN. Luckily, I spend a lot of time onpages of websites, so that likely contributed to some of my success here. There are not really any other words that could go here, but it may not make sense until you realize what the category actually is.
GOAT
STRING
Once I saw the remaining options, I realized thatthese were all types of cheeseor at least cheese. Perhaps I should have recognized this one a little sooner, having grown up in Wisconsin, the home of cheese, but I solved this puzzle fast enough that I did not even consider many of these words ahead of time. COTTAGE and HOME: From the previous category, I briefly considered belonging together with RETREAT, but there was not a fourth word to add, and I quickly dropped it.
