The NY Times Connections puzzle from today brings together words that include both astonishment and horror movie terms. The weekend begins now so we will analyze the answers and clues for Friday, April 18th’s puzzle.
Players have to categorize 16 given words into four groups made up of four words each. The game distributes random words into subtype groups based on chosen topics which appear in distinct color schemes.
Players must find all groups within their four attempts to win the game. The gameplay renews at midnight every day.
This puzzle requires solving 16 words: GOOD, BOY, BANJO, BIRDS, NOSE, MAN, POSSESSION, GOODNESS, BELONGING, HAUNTING, APPLE, CARD, SHINING, EFFECT, WOW, and EXORCIST.
