If not, check below for the full answer. What is today's Connections answer? Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Tuesday, 22nd April: Yellow: Cancel, As A Project (Axe, Cut, Drop, Scrap) Green: Seen In A Pottery Studio (Clay, Glaze, Kiln, Wheel) Blue: Things That Are Slippery (Banana Peel, Eel, Grease, Ice) Purple: Natural Producers Of Heat (Fire, Lightning, Sun, Volcano) This edition of Connections was on the easier side for me.
If you've watched a decent number of cartoons, 'slippery' is the first thing you think of when seeing 'banana peel', isn't it? It was easy to add 'grease' and 'ice' to that list, but I needed a second to realise it wasn't about 'stuff you can step on' - just all things slippery, including eel. I found the purple theme particularly straightforward. Instead of the usual hidden words, missing letters, tricky trivia, and secondary meanings, it was just a straight up 'hot things' today.
The green group was actually harder for me as I didn't think of pottery right away. I wasn't even sure to include 'wheel', but eventually it was the only thing left that made sense. It was nice to solve a relatively simple Connections puzzle for once, but I've a feeling this won't become a trend - tomorrow we'll see! Congratulations if you got today's Connections answer right, with or without the help of our handy hints above!
