It’s Tuesday, March 12 and the newest Connections is available for fans to solve. Today’s categories feel tougher than normal and utilize quite a few niche topics that not everyone may know about. One of the best things about Connections though is that you only need to solve three of the four to count today as a win.
Despite the tougher categories, some players may prefer a more challenging puzzle to solve for their daily game routine. If that’s the case we highly recommend The Password Game. This nigh-impossible puzzle has players trying to craft the perfect password based on rules that continue to build into obscurity. There is an ending to this brain-burner, but it won’t easily be achieved.

CLASS
DIVISION
RANK
TIER
This was certainly the simplest of categories for us today as RANK and CLASS stood out to start our day. DIVISION followed quickly behind but we weren’t sure about TIER until we took a good look at the other words.

INCLUDING
ALSO
AND

PLUS
The ‘INCLUDING’ category was another quick win, but we actually scored this one in third for the day. No specific word stuck out as they all easily fell into place, especially when there were only two categories left. IF from the purple category gave us a bit of pause and almost cost us an attempt, but in the end, we scored the green category and left the hardest one for today as leftovers.

We were quick to score the blue category today as clearly, the dog breeds stuck out like a cute snoot about to get booped. LAB and GOLDEN were the first two to catch our eyes and it didn’t take long at all to see the connection with the other words. Formally the completed dog names are as follows:
Boston Terrier Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Golden Retriever (or Goldendoodle)

We must admit, this category would have been a loss for us if they weren’t the only words left in the grid. This was, however, the most enjoyable category as we took a little time to read each poem and enjoyed them immensely. Feel free to do the same yourself courtesy of Poetry Foundation.
