Today’s Connections Strategy and Commentary
Watch for words that look like they belong to general object or tool lists but actually tie to specific contexts such as comedy, physics or literature. Locking into an obvious but incorrect theme early will lead to mistakes. It helps to think about both literal and cultural uses of each term. The trickiest group involves short abbreviations that stand for very different things depending on the field.
