Today’s Connections Category Hints

Lodge in Connections Categories January 25

Today’s puzzle presented a moderate challenge, but I managed to solve it by the finish. Certain words were particularly tricky due to their categories. The last two categories posed a unique difficulty in differentiation. A helpful hint to remember is that the categorization of words is not based on their definitions, meaning synonyms won’t be your guide, which adds an extra layer of complexity.

One category involves four experiences you would encounter in a specific public institution.
Another category pertains to four items typically found in a particular vacation spot.
One category includes four words sharing a common origin.
Another group consists of four words that can be altered by adding a specific set of letters.

If you’re uncertain about categorizing the words, consider using the category names as a guide. Below this section, you’ll find detailed answers for additional assistance.

FEATURES OF A WeI RESORT
LIFT	LODGE	MOGUL	SLOPE

This second category was fairly easy to recognize. Terms like LIFT and LODGE are commonly associated with skiing, while SLOPE is instantly relatable. The term MOGUL, however, is often only familiar to those who have some skiing experience—it’s a word I learned, likely from watching the Olympics, and was the final addition to my answer batch.

WORDS AFTER THE PREFIX “TRI-“
ANGLE	CYCLE	DENT	UNDER

My selection for this category was somewhat instinctive—although I can’t pinpoint exactly why ANGLE, CYCLE, DENT, and POD felt right as a group. After analyzing the remaining words, my intuition simply clicked. I often wonder if this instinct is a result of my seven-month experience with daily Connections puzzles, and while I can’t be certain, I found this lucky guess both surprising and satisfying!
