Quick tips for connection
#1: Say the clues loudly and stop every time. This can help you hear words in your phrase. Connection editors like to group words in similar terms, such as ____ up.
#2: Don’t go to obvious groupings. These editors are smart. At one point, they provided sponges, bobs, squares and pants in the same puzzle. None of these words are in the same category. If you prefer, click the “Shut” button to make yourself different from the words.
#3: Break down all compound words and look for similarities. “Rushmore” used to be a puzzle, and each word begins with the name of a rock band.
