Today's Connections answers
The Connections answers on June 7 for puzzle #1,092 are a smidge harder than yesterday's puzzle, with the Connections Companion rating this puzzle's difficulty at 2.8 out of 5.
- 🟨 Translucent, as fabric: Gauzy, gossamer, sheer, thin
- 🟩 Speak: Express, state, utter, voice
- 🟦 Demolish: Gut, level, total, trash
- 🟪 Music genre suffixes: Core, pop, step, wave
I went down the line today starting with descriptors of see-through fabrics: gauzy, gossamer, sheer, and thin.
After that came a quartet of synonyms for speak with express, state, utter, and voice.
I thought maybe level and pop could be related (you can add "up" after each to form a common phrase) but then I realized trash, total, and gut were more aligned with level and that's how I got blue.
That left purple as today's rote fill with core, pop, step, and wave.
Yesterday's Connections answers
- 🟨 Pillar: Pole, post, shaft, stake
- 🟩 Indicate, as emotions: Betray, display, express, register
- 🟦 Kinds of lizards: Basilisk, dragon, monitor, skink
- 🟪 ____ Table: Dinner, drafting, round, times
Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #1,091, which had a difficulty rating of 2.5 out of 5.
My way into today's puzzle was the skink, a type of lizard. That led to monitor. And despite being fantasy creatures, the dragon and basilisk are considered lizards in one form or another.
The sticks of pole, post, shaft and stake were obviously yellow so I saved that.
I next spotted betray, display, express and register, which I assumed was green since it didn't seem to have a trick.
Which left dinner table, drafting table, round table and times table as the purple.
And that's the order I submitted things in: purple, green, then yellow.
