The Puzzle: NYT Connections for Jan. 10 #944 might stump even the savviest solvers. The groups lack the usual pop-culture references, making it a real brainteaser. But fear not, we've got your back with hints and answers.
Hints:
- Yellow Group: Imagine a void, an empty space.
- Green Group: It's not physical, but it's essential.
- Blue Group: Time to make an exit!
- Purple Group: Size matters here.
Answers:
- Yellow Group: Think cylindrical, but with a twist. Hose, pipe, straw, and tube—all hollow cylinders.
- Green Group: It's all about digital realms. App, desktop, mobile, and web—the software platforms we rely on.
- Blue Group: Taking flight or a quick departure. Book, dip, jet, and split—all ways to take off.
- Purple Group: Measuring up is the name of the game. Bar, gram, mole, and volt—units of measure with a twist.
