Connections is about finding things that don’t look like they go well together, but they do. Deadpool and Wolverinefor example, the now the most successful R-rated film of all time. Today’s Connections won’t make you a whopping billion dollars and it’s not R-rated, but it’s as exciting as ever to challenge your brain.
Your daily sweet 16 words are back and ready for your best grouping efforts. The popular Connections Brainbuster by The New York Times has four groups of words with a common theme or commonality, but shuffled in a random order for you to figure them out. Remember to take your time – many words have multiple meanings, so think twice before you click.
Words of the day: NERD, GRUMP, SNOOZE, WHAT IF, SAY, DO, DOPE, RUNT, SLEEP, KISS, ASSUMED, ALARM, HOUR, MAYBE, TIME SET, And GIANT PAPER

YELLOW: Rise and shine
GREEN: Hypotheses
BLUE: Sweet tooth
PURPLE: Heigh ho
