NYT Connections game 1195 hints and answers
Solve today's word puzzle with hints for all four groups, from flight stages to rhyming case types.
In brief
Solve today's word puzzle with hints for all four groups, from flight stages to rhyming case types. Today's puzzle groups words by process segments, food assortments, flight parts, and words that precede 'case'. Originally reported by TechRadar.
Today's 16 puzzle words
The words for game 1195 are: pillow, cruise, upper, step, flight, stair, planner, round, stage, takeoff, medley, brief, boarding, sampler, phase, and landing.
Yellow group: process segments
The yellow group, rated easiest, groups words that describe parts of a process or sequence: phase, round, stage, and step.
Green group: food assortments
The green group covers ways to serve small portions of food or drink together: flight, medley, platter, and sampler.
Blue group: flight stages
The blue group names stages of an airplane journey: boarding, cruise, landing, and takeoff. This group is tricky because flight also fits the food category.
Purple group: case words
The purple group, hardest, requires adding the word 'case' after each: brief case, pillow case, stair case, and upper case.
Common mistake: flight trap
Flight appears in both the food group and the flight stages group, making it the puzzle's main trick. Choosing it for the wrong category derails the entire solution.
