Welcome back, puzzle solvers! 🧩 If yesterday’s Connections puzzle had you scratching your head, you’re not alone. Dec 28’s challenge brought a mix of science, music, and measurements that tested even the sharpest minds. Don’t worry – we’ve got the full breakdown to guide you through the solution.
Let’s dive into yesterday’s puzzle categories and answers so you can stay ahead of today’s challenge!
1. Celestial Bodies – The Easy Win
The first and easiest category focused on celestial bodies. This set was a straightforward nod to the objects you’d find in the sky or space.
Words in This Group
- MARS
- VENUS
- EARTH
- MOON
Why This Connection Works
These are planets (and one moon) within our solar system – easy to spot and a great way to start yesterday’s puzzle.
Solving Tip
When faced with space-related categories, think of common planets, stars, or moons. These words tend to stand out quickly and give you momentum for the rest of the puzzle.
2. Musical Notes – The Mid-Level Challenge
The next category played on familiarity with musical scales. If you’ve ever hummed “Do-Re-Mi,” you were already on the right track!
Words in This Group
- DO
- RE
- MI
- FA
Why This Connection Works
These are the first four notes in the solfège scale (do, re, mi, fa), often used in music education and made famous by pop culture.
Solving Tip
If you see short, vowel-heavy words in a puzzle, think musically. Often, puzzles include patterns or references to familiar scales or melodies.
3. Metric Units – A Harder Nut to Crack
The third category took things up a notch with metric units – terms often used in science and everyday measurements.
Words in This Group
- WATT
- LITER
- GRAM
- METER
Why This Connection Works
Each of these words represents a unit of measurement used in various fields:
- Watt (power)
- Liter (volume)
- Gram (mass)
- Meter (length)
Solving Tip
If a puzzle contains words related to numbers or measurements, look for units of power, weight, or length. This category can sometimes blend with science terms, so stay sharp.
4. Chemistry Terms – The Toughest Group
Finally, the most difficult category involved chemistry terms – concepts that might take you back to school days.
Words in This Group
- BASE
- ACID
- ION
- MOLE
Why This Connection Works
Each term is essential to basic chemistry:
- Base & Acid (chemical properties)
- Ion (charged particle)
- Mole (unit of measurement in chemistry)
Solving Tip
When facing scientific terms, think broadly – chemistry, physics, and biology often overlap. Terms like “acid” and “ion” are frequent puzzle contenders.
