Today’s Connections Category Hints
FEBRUARY 06 #606

This puzzle posed a unique challenge, largely due to one troublesome word. Unlike yesterday, where multiple words felt connected under the same theme, today was about identifying distinct categories.Knowing your subject well can certainly increase your chances of success. Ironically, my difficulties today weren’t related to sports.
- One category pertains to a condition that may hinder performance.
- Another category reflects an attitude.
- One category highlights four items sharing a common physical characteristic.
- The final category consists of four terms associated with a specific professional group.
If this is insufficient, fear not! Additional clues are available, with category names serving as key guides, while spoilers are designated for emergencies.

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

DELICATE | |||
---|---|---|---|
FAINT | LIGHT | MILD | SOFT |
This category was my stumbling block. While I successfully crossed off another category, I was perplexed about the right selection for these four words. It was the word DIZZY that derailed my progress.I couldn’t convince myself to replace DIZZY with SOFT or MILD without clarity on the category, which ultimately led to my undoing.

MAGNANIMOUS | |||
---|---|---|---|
GRAND | GREAT | LOFTY | NOBLE |
I was able to navigate this category with relative ease. However, a few uncertainties lingered, as GRAND and GREAT could have potentially aligned with COUNT and DUKE in a category focused on titles. Initially, I might have pursued the title idea but then quickly pivoted to identifying adjectives. In a way, these adjectives resemble titles, albeit descriptive and not positional.
Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

THINGS WITH NECKS | |||
---|---|---|---|
BOTTLE | GIRAFFE | GUITAR | LAMP |
This is a category I never managed to address and was baffled by its components. I initially searched for associations with spots due to GIRAFFE and even researched these words for additional meanings.Unfortunately, GIRAFFE offers limited alternative interpretations, leaving me lost. I ultimately failed to recognize any logical groupings among these terms, which could have indicated their connection.
Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

FIRST NAMES IN JAZZ | |||
---|---|---|---|
CAB | COUNT | DIZZY | DUKE |
My exposure to jazz is quite limited, primarily referencing nostalgic listens from a single CD my mother introduced me to at a young age. Without broader knowledge of jazz musicians’ first names, I might have overlooked CAB and DIZZY in this context. Given DIZZY’s more natural connection to the other terms, this further complicated my ability to categorize correctly.
