It’s called Labor Day Weekend, but the only work you should be doing is flipping burgers on the grill and deciding which college football game you’ll be watching as the season fully kicks off this week. Or you could fire up College Football 25 instead and see if you’re a better coach than the knucklehead who just went for it on 4th down deep in his own territory and ran a lousy QB draw for a loss.
Actually, there is a little bit of work you can do, and it only requires a screen and your big brain: Your daily sweet 16 words are back and ready for your best grouping efforts. The popular Connections brainbuster from The New York Times has four groups of words with a shared theme or commonality, but they’re shuffled into random order for you to figure out. Remember to take your time — many words have multiple meanings, so think twice before you click.
Today’s words: GREEK, CHEF, CROWN, SPORTS, MONTICELLO, RINGS, GARDEN, EAGLE, BUSINESS, ROOTS, TORCH, WEDGE, BARK, ARTS, SHIELD, and COMICS.
