A quick tip about the challenging parts
If you understand the terminology used in Google Sheets, you'll find today's blue category a breeze.
Be wary of confusing HONEYCOMB and WAX, as they don't connect in this context.
Be aware that WIND is used as a verb in this puzzle rather than a noun for a breeze.
A surprising fact I learned: "b-school" is a common shorthand for business school. It might come in handy.

SPOILER ALERT: The solutions to today's Connections puzzle
Are you ready to discover the answers to today's Connections game? Here they are.
What are the yellow words in today's Connections?
The most straightforward category in today's game is yellow. The theme for this group is roughly REMOVE, AS BODY HAIR, so the words are LASER, PLUCK, THREAD, and WAX.
What are the green words in today's Connections?
The second-easiest category, green, has the theme of TWIST AROUND and consists of COIL, SPOOL, WIND, and WRAP.
What are the blue words in today's Connections?
The second-toughest group, blue, revolves around THINGS MADE OF CELLS, which includes HONEYCOMB, ORGANISM, SOLAR PANEL, and SPREADSHEET.
What are the purple words in today's Connections?
The hardest group, purple, has the theme B-___. The words are BALL, MOVIE, SCHOOL, and VITAMIN.
How I tackled today's Connections
HONEYCOMB and ORGANISM both seem to involve cells, so that makes sense for the blue category. SOLAR PANEL and SPREADSHEET are also something created of cells, so these words also fit.
I noticed several words related to tightly winding or wrapping things: COIL, SPOOL, WIND, and WRAP. These words seem to fit together.
PLUCK stands out as a method of hair removal, along with LASER, THREAD, and WAX.
The options for the purple category seem to involve the letter "B" in various contexts. Perhaps B-SCHOOL is a common abbreviation for business school, making it an interesting connector with BALL, VITAMIN B, and a poor-quality movie, aka a B-MOVIE. 🟩
How to play Connections
I've written a comprehensive guide on how to play Connections, but as a quick summary:

- Identify the four categories.
- Decide on the given theme for each category.

- Connect the unrelated themes to find the day's words.
- Have fun! 🙂
Um vier Rätsel zu lösen und aufzugeben, klicken Sie auf den Absenden-Button. Bei korrekter Antwort werden die Kategorie und Farbe angezeigt. (Gelb ist die einfachste, gefolgt von Grün, dann Blau und schließlich Purpur.) Wenn Ihre Vermutung falsch ist, bekommen Sie eine weitere Chance.
Sie gewinnen, wenn Sie alle vier Gruppen erfolgreich kategorisieren. Allerdings endet das Spiel, wenn Sie vier falsche Versuche machen.
Strategien, um Verbindungen zu meistern
Das Hauptziel bei Verbindungen ist zu verstehen, wie kompliziert die Gruppierungen sind. Suche nach überlappenden Themen. Zum Beispiel schien ein Rätsel, das sechs Frühstücksgerichte umfasste: BACON, EI, PANKEK, OMELETTE, WAFFEL und CEREAL. Tatsächlich gehörte BACON jedoch zu einer Gruppe von Malern, die CLOSE, MUNCH und WHISTLER umfasste, während EI zu einer Gruppe von Dutzend-verknüpften Gegenständen gehörte, die JUROR, ROSE und MONAT umfasste. Also warten Sie, bis Ihre ausgewählte Gruppe nur diese vier Elemente enthält, bevor Sie auf "Submit" klicken.
Wenn verwirrt, betrachten Sie Wörter, die sich scheinbar keiner anderen Gruppe anschließen. Wenn Sie während des Betrachtens von WHISTLER nur auf das Gemälde "Whistlers Mutter" denken, könnten Sie auf etwas stoßen. Nachdem ich dieses Problem gelöst hatte, musste ich überprüfen, ob Close ein Maler war, da Close keiner offensichtlichen Themen zugeordnet war.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit, wenn Sie verwirrt sind, ist, praktische Tipps zu lesen. Also bieten wir Ihnen solche Ratschläge jeden Tag an. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie morgen zurückkehren, um die nächste Lösung des Rätsels zu lesen!
