Weekend Connections are the best Connections, and today’s answers might just break a few people’s long-standing win streaks. There are a few very niche topics in today’s game, and knowing a little about a lot will finally pay off. Just be careful of the few misdirections placed around, don’t let them distract you.
In fact, taking your time is one of the best tips for Connections. It’s easy to see a word or two that appear to match up and then shove in others that are just “close.” When you’ve got your selection, before hitting Submit, take a second and try to figure out what the actual category would be. These few seconds can often help you see a mistake before you make it.
Before we jump right into spoiler territory with today’s Connections answers, we wanted to provide you with the categories for the day. Sometimes just knowing what is expected can score you a win.
Yellow was the third category we scored today and it was a very easy one once there were only eight words left to choose from. HEADLINER and STAR were the two words that triggered our brains into this one and it didn’t take long to match up the other two for an easy victory.
BLAH!! Just kidding, it’s just me, I’m not a Vampire.
Green was our second score for the day but it did cause us a bit of trouble at first. CROSS, GARLIC, and SUN were all easy to see, but SILVER really threw us. We’ve always equated SILVER to warding off Werewolves, not Vampires. We still chanced it and ended up scoring a win. After a quick Google search, we learned that SILVER has often been used in Vampire literature, neat.
Blue was the first category we scored for the day and it was so easy for us. As a child we had subscriptions to both MAD and CRACKED, and often read our fathers old National LAMPOON magazines. As an adult, The ONION is one of our favorite websites. There was no chance this particular category was going to go unnoticed by us.
Purple had the leftover words for us today so let’s talk about something more important.
The problem with a CLUB SANDWICH is that it’s generally too dry. If you’re making one at home, use this simple trick. Before you get started putting things together, grab some pesto, even if it’s just a premade jar, and mix the pesto with the mayonnaise. I usually do a 1:1 ratio. After it’s nice and mixed, slather it on your toast, don’t be scared of it. Trust me, this will shoot your sandwich game into the stratosphere. You’re welcome.
Before you run off to make your own club sandwich and read that 1992 Cracked magazine with Wayne’s World on the cover that you still have in a box of old comics, check out these other browser-based games.
