Welcome to the weekend, puzzlers! There’s plenty of great stuff to do on this first Saturday of October that doesn’t involve consuming pumpkin spice anything. (Because, really, it’s kind of played out, and it doesn’t taste that good.) You could go see Joker: Folie à Deux, but apparently that’s also kind of played out, and it doesn’t sound that good. Luckily, there are some much better Gotham-set films you can return to after that one.
In the meantime, 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: JACUZZI, BIKINI, HANGER, X-RAY, Q-TIP, TOOTHBRUSH, G-STRING, CHAPSTICK, T-BONE, XEROX, HIPSTER, SKIRT, DRILL, FLEET, SINK, and THONG
