Summary
Connections #1090 was fully solved by Mashable, with the four groups identified as Hansel and Gretel clues, bits of cereal, Demi Moore movies, and words ending in transportation methods.
16 words were sorted into those sets: BREADCRUMB, FOREST, OVEN and WITCH; CLUSTER, FLAKE, LOOP and PUFF; DISCLOSURE, GHOST, STRIPTEASE and THE SUBSTANCE; INCUBUS, OSCAR, QUATRAIN and SITUATIONSHIP.
Mashable framed the June 5 puzzle as relatively manageable for cinephiles, pointing readers to the Demi Moore category as a likely foothold.
The article also recapped Connections rules: players group 16 words into four color-coded categories, with up to four mistakes before the game ends.
