Today’s Connections Category Hints
APRIL 06 #665
If you’re struggling to identify the categories in today’s puzzle, utilizing some hints could steer you in the right direction. Below are valuable clues to assist you. This puzzle can be particularly intriguing, especially when the yellow category isn’t the first one that catches my eye. Initially, this might incite anxiety, but it turned out to be less daunting as I identified a critical keyword.
- One category features words that describe individuals who tend to be less sociable than others.
- Another category consists of four factors that can be particularly frustrating as the month comes to a close.
- A separate category includes four terms connected to the same type of energy.
- The final category consists of four words that precede another term in a phrase, with that term often describing a location or common item.

This answer caught me off guard—I momentarily doubted that COOL fit here, forgetting it could also describe a personality trait. Fortunately, I was able to rectify my mistake, but it was a close call. I was worried about jeopardizing the streak I had recently begun to rebuild, but thankfully, I managed to secure my progress.

This category filled me with anxiety since utilities tend to haunt me at the start and end of every month. I suspect many share this sentiment. However, once I recognized them, I managed to categorize them relatively easily—an unfortunate reality that I wish were less stressful.

Had I not reached this category last, I likely wouldn’t have combined these words myself. Luckily, this experience continues to educate me through Connections, as I often learn new things. While I’ve dabbled in woodworking, I never encountered the term DOVETAIL in this context before. Additionally, I hadn’t heard of SPIKE LEE‘s film titles associated with this phrase, but now it’s a delightful new fact I can share.
