If today’s New York Times Connections grid has you burning through your mistakes, you are not alone. Puzzle #1107 features some heavy misdirection, with several words seemingly fitting into a language or general term theme before pulling the rug out from under you.

Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary
Watch out for the red herrings today. At first glance, words like Alpha and Head look like an obvious match for a ranking or leadership theme, while others appear related to sound or speech. Committing to those surface meanings early will cost you lives. We recommend looking closely at different uses and contexts for each word, separating literal definitions from their specialized roles. This will make the remaining 12 words significantly easier to manage.
