Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary
Watch out for the red herrings today. At first glance, words like Boardwalk and Model look like they could belong to travel or general description themes, but committing to those early will cost you lives. We recommend looking closely at common associations and word endings, as these patterns will make sorting the full set much easier to manage.
