screenrant.com:

If you want to strike gold with today’s puzzle, you may need some help to get it. There are a fair number of things that can help you solve a puzzle faster, but those are things you often only learn after solving them for a while. Once you know the tricks, you can start flying through puzzles andspot the traps before they catch you. Until then, we have all the hints you need to keep you from falling for them.

If you like having a puzzle to play every day, puzzle is tough. Luckily, the basic rules are the same every day, but the conditions set by the rules change. You will have to solve the rules for yourself every day as you seek to make a password a hacker will never guess. Who knows, maybe you will find a great new password for all your email addresses.

If you want to have the right guesses for each of these words, understanding subtleties is one of the main keys. There are a lot of possible solutions, but only one way to get a perfect score. To help you achieve that score, we have clues to help you recognize what the categories are before you look at their names:

Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.

After you have examined the clues and the words, if you still need a helping hand, you can check out all the category names listed below.

BEVERAGES

CARE FOR A PLANT

ITEM SOLD IN PAIRS

BUGS PLUS STARTING LETTER

BEVERAGES

JUICE

MILK

PUNCH

SODA

The main part of this category that might prove tricky is the word WATER. It is a very common beverage, after all, but it does not go in this category. Otherwise, PRUNE might trick some players, as it is a type of juice, but it is much more specific than the other beverages listed here. Once I had water firmly placed in another category, it was much easier to put these four words together without any issues, although PUNCH did have me thinking it went with SMITE and SOCK for a moment.

CARE FOR A PLANT

FERTILIZE

P
