Hints for Today's Puzzle
For those who need a nudge without full spoilers, consider these clues:
- Yellow: You might want an umbrella when these show up.
- Green: These words describe leaving someone speechless or completely amazed.
- Blue: Think of what you often hear or see while watching classic television comedies.
- Purple: Each answer pairs naturally with a common household word that comes after it.
If you're still stuck, the full answers are below.
Answers for Puzzle #1106
The four groups and their words are:
- Yellow group: Forms of precipitation – DRIZZLE, RAIN, SHOWERS, SPRINKLES
- Green group: Bowl over – FLOOR, ROCK, STUN, WOW
- Blue group: Sitcom staples – CATCHPHRASE, LAUGH TRACK, PILOT, RERUN
- Purple group: ___ table – CARD, COFFEE, PERIODIC, POOL
The yellow category was relatively easy, while the purple group likely caused the most difficulty. Players focusing on television or weather terms early might have solved the puzzle faster. As always, the key is to resist misleading patterns and discover the hidden links.
According to the TOI Tech Desk, a team of journalists covering technology news, the puzzle offers a fun daily challenge. A new set of 16 words and four fresh categories will be available tomorrow.
