Today's Connections Hints & Answers For April 1, 2024 (Puzzle #294)

April Fools is one of the most unpredictable days of the year, and the amazing editor of created something a little different for this day of mischief. Instead of the standard collection of words, players will be greeted with sixteen emojis. The game itself hasn't changed though and there are some very well-crafted categories for each selection of pictures in today's game.

FOOD SLANG FOR MONEY

BREAD

BACON

LETTUCE

WORDS THAT RHYME

PLANE

RAIN

TRAIN

BRAIN

HORROR MOVIES

ALIEN

SCREAM

DRACULA

LETTER HOMOPHONES

EWE

BEE

EYE

TEA

These were our leftover emojis for the day and even though we didn't score
