Connections February 29: The word Answers in big letters with a blurred background

PROPEL INTO THE AIR

HOP	LEAP	JUMP	SPRING

This was absolutely the easiest category today with almost every word standing out on its own. LEAP, SPRING, JUMP, and HOP all fit nicely together and the only trouble was the green category’s VAULT, which also fit this theme.

PLACE TO STORE VALUABLES

CHEST	SAFE	COFFER	VAULT

SAFE and COFFER locked up the green category for us today as we ended up solving the entire day’s puzzle in the games easy to hard order.

PERIOD

AGE	ERA	TIME	DAY

Another fairly simple connection with different ways to mark TIME. AGE and ERA started this one off and the other two words fell right into place.

ANIMALS BACKWARD

DRIB	FLOW	REED	TANG

Today’s purple Connections category was our ‘leftovers’ one, which is totally acceptable as the game has a built-in win condition of only needing to solve three of the four actual categories to win. I don’t think we would have solved this on its own though as it is a very clever category and could easily confuse some players.
