With today’s puzzle, we have some tough words in play and even tougher categories, but nothing we can’t solve.

The New York Times’ Connections, when you play, supplies you with 16 different words and your goal is to sort them into four secret categories. Pick four words or phrases that could be related and, if correct, it will group them into their common association, or connection, if you will. Each category has its own color, with Yellow being the easiest to solve, then Green, Blue, and the hardest, Purple. The categories can range from types of pets or things that are blue to one-word action films or words with trees in them. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
With today’s Connections, we have some interesting words and categories that are much harder than yesterday’s. Something to keep in mind for puzzles like today’s is that many of the words usually have multiple meanings, so pay attention to them as you see any matches.
