Hints for Today’s Puzzle
🔍 Need some guidance? Here are subtle clues for each category:
- Ancient Writing Systems – Think of the earliest forms of recorded communication, carved in stone or used by ancient civilizations. 🪨
- Obscure Mythological Creatures – These aren’t your everyday dragons—think dangerous, strange beasts from deep mythology. 🐉
- Lost Civilizations – Legendary lands said to have disappeared, existing only in myths and stories. 🏝️
- Rare Astronomical Phenomena – Cosmic events and objects you’d only hear about in deep-space explorations or advanced astrophysics. 🌌

Strategies to Solve Connections Puzzles Faster
- Look for Unique Words First
Words like “Quasar” or “Atlantis” are easy to spot because they’re tied to specific fields. Use these as anchors to begin forming groups. - Separate the Familiar from the Obscure
If a word sounds mythical or fantastical, it likely belongs to the creatures or lost civilization categories. - Process of Elimination
Once the first two groups are identified, the remaining words often reveal the final categories.
