Today’sConnectionsfeels like aResident Evilpuzzle with words such as DIAMONDS, SWORD, and UMBRELLA all hanging about. To our disappointment, this was not the connection the game was looking for, and we had to look for other groupings to save the day. Luckily, this puzzle is not as challenging as past ones, particularly if you know what to look for.
After finishingConnections, you could go and replayResident Evilagain to keep the theming going. However, if that is not your speed you could instead trying solving theNYTWordleof the day. Instead of putting multiple words together, you will be putting letters together to make a single word. This can be just as challenging and very satisfying when you get it right.

Today’s Connections Category Hints
JUNE 18 #372
So if notResident Evil,just what are theConnections’categories of the day? Not to fear, we managed to put all the categories in the table below while running from Mr. X for you to benefit from.
POWER
VOLUME
This one stood out not because of a remote control but because of POWER and VOLUME seemingly going together. MENU and CHANNEL also had a fair number of similar vibes. We got this one more on luck because of those two things, but fortunately, this gamble paid off.
SCREEN
SHIELD
BLOCK and SHIELD stood out as having similar meanings, even though for a little while it seemed like SHIELD might go with SWORD and DIAMONDS - only partially because of theResident Evilimagery. However, once we saw SCREEN and COVER as well, it made too much sense for a category all about protecting something to exist and luckily we were right.
12 Letter Boxed Strategies To Win Quickly
The Letter Boxed game for the New York Times mobile app asks you to connect letters to form words while using various strategies to win quickly.
SWORD
UMBRELLA
The closest we get to being aResident Evilcategory, we unfortunately were given drink garnishes instead. While CHERRY and OLIVE are both perfectly nice in a drink, it is slightly disappointing to see SWORD and UMBRELLA end up here instead. However, we will move on and hope for something more in the future.
QUANTUM
TOMORROW
At least in all the excitement, we do git a glimpse of the glamor and action of the James Bond films. While it may not be zombie-related, at least notyet, at least it is marginally closer than drink garnishes. Alas, we will muse on the gambling of coins in a CASINO and the beauty of DIAMONDS as we think about QUANTUM theory TOMORROW.
