Today's Connections Hints & Answers For April 6, 2024 (Puzzle #299)

screenrant.com:

Time for a new and today's categories might cause a few players to lose their long-standing win streaks, but not us, we never lose (we lost today.) Sometimes the game just gets you with its mix of words that seem similar but aren't quite right and for today's game, we got hung up on many of those incorrect.

One of the best tips for anyone getting into the game of is to utilize the shuffle button provided at the bottom. Oftentimes, the game will put words next to each other at the start to attempt to trick your brain into making them fit. Hitting shuffle right away can break that up and hopefully avoid some lost attempts.

Before we spoil today's answers we wanted to provide the daily categories for those players who may just need a little push in the right direction.

BREADTH

HAIR TOOLS

HERALDRY TERMS

WORDS BEFORE “DRUM”

BREADTH

EXTENT

RANGE

REACH

SCOPE

We did end up scoring the yellow category today before our loss, so there's a small victory. RANGE and EXTENT pushed us into the correct category with SCOPE and REACH coming in quickly behind. RANGE did try to trick us at first and we lost an attempt trying to fit it in with the wrong words. SCOPE, REACH, and CREST are also all types of toothpaste which quickly lost us a few more attempts, it just wasn't our day.

HAIR TOOLS

BRUSH

COMB

IRON

DRYER

IRON, STEEL, and SHIELD all threw us off our game today and we didn't even come close to scoring anything except yellow. Sometimes you just get stuck on something and you can't let it go. Hair care tools is a cool category and makes total sense now that we've seen the answers. IRON can be used in a few different ways and if we had just thought curling IRON perhaps we could have at least scored green.

HERALDRY TERMS

ARMS

COAT

CREST

SHIELD

Another category we didn't get to score today, but a good one nonetheless. CREST and SHIELD really should have given this one away and even though we may not have seen ARMS matching up at first, it makes perfect sense in
