Associations is not just a word-finding game but a test of your associative and logical thinking abilities. Your task is to group related words together based on a hidden theme. It challenges you to look beyond the surface layers of meaning to find the invisible thread connecting the concepts.
The game usually provides a vocabulary list. You need to divide them into groups of 4 words that share a certain characteristic.
Don't view the vocabulary list as a single block. Try scanning through it and finding words belonging to common groups first.
Like-sounding words, groups of words that are similar, or set phrases.
You shouldn't pick a word right away if it seems too obvious. Check to see if there are any other words that are also in the running.
If you have found 3 sure groups, the last group will automatically be revealed. Focus on solving the easiest groups first to narrow down your search.
There are times when the link is not in the meaning of the words but in the way they are put together. Every word starts with a certain letter. Adding prefixes and endings makes new words.
Enjoy your passionate moments with Associations!
