Connect Master Level 87 Solution Walkthrough & Answer

Connect Master Level 87 Pattern Overview

The Overall Challenge

Connect Master Level 87 throws a fun mix of everyday objects and character types at you, and it's way more interesting than it first appears. You're looking at six distinct sets of four tiles each, arranged across the board with a blend of microphones, head accessories, luxury items, characters in scarves, pink felines, and vampire-themed figures. The theme isn't uniform—it's deliberately varied to keep you on your toes and force you to look for specific shared traits rather than relying on a single broad category.

The Six Complete Sets

Here's what you're solving toward in Connect Master Level 87:

• Microphones – Four different microphone styles (handheld with a yellow ball top, vintage standing mic, rounded black desktop mic, and a sleek black handheld). They all capture sound, but the variety in form is key to spotting this group.
• Head Accessories – A pink cowboy hat, a colorful hair bow, a red safety helmet, and a white chef's hat. Each one sits on or above the head, and they're all distinctly different objects.
• Golden Items – Four ornate, shiny objects: a gold cauldron, a golden window arch, a fancy gold chair, and a tall candelabra. Luxury and metallic shine unite this set completely.
• Scarf Wearers – Four characters (a vampire-looking man, an orange cat, a person in a black balaclava, and a blonde woman) all displaying scarves or wrapped fabrics around their necks or shoulders.
• Pink Cats – Four feline heads in varying shades of pink and magenta, each with slightly different expressions and eye styles (one has hearts for eyes, one wears a bow, one has wide yellow eyes, one has a gentle expression).
• Women Vampires – Four female figures with pale skin and vampire-themed styling: one in green, one with long black hair, one in red, one in black dress. They share the supernatural, gothic aesthetic.

Why Connect Master Level 87 Feels So Tricky

The Most Confusing Set

The Scarf Wearers set sneaks up on you because the characters look so different at first glance—a vampire, a cat, a masked person, and a regular woman. Your brain wants to sort them by what they are (creature type), not by what they're wearing (the shared accessory). I needed two retries here because I kept trying to group the cat with other animals or the vampire with the Women Vampires set, completely missing that the unifying trait was the scarf or neck covering. Once you zoom in mentally and focus only on "What's around their neck?", the group snaps into focus immediately.

Subtle Overlaps That Trap You

The Pink Cats versus Women Vampires boundary is where I stumbled most. Both sets contain humanoid or stylized faces with pale coloring and dramatic features. The trick? Pink Cats are explicitly feline—they have cat ears, whiskers, and feline facial structure—while Women Vampires are human females with vampire makeup and costumes. If you look only at "pink" or "pale skin," you'll miscategorize. You have to look at the ears and mouth shape to stay accurate.

Another overlap happens between Head Accessories and Scarf Wearers. A scarf can feel like an accessory, right? But the scarf tiles in that group show characters wearing the scarves as part of their full appearance, whereas Head Accessories are standalone items (hats, bows, helmets). The difference is whether you're identifying the item itself or the person wearing clothing. It's a subtle shift in perspective, but it's critical.

The "I Finally Saw It!" Moment

What finally clicked for me with Connect Master Level 87 was realizing that Golden Items aren't just "yellow things"—they're specifically luxury, ornate, household or decorative objects. The cauldron, arch, chair, and candelabra are all things you'd find in a fantasy castle or wealthy home. That specificity is what separates them from microphones (which are also metal and reflective, but serve a completely different purpose). Naming the set "Golden Items" rather than just "shiny things" locked the category into my mind.

Step-by-Step Solution for Connect Master Level 87

Opening: Lock Down the Obvious

Start Connect Master Level 87 by pinning down the sets that have the clearest visual separation. I'd recommend beginning with Pink Cats because all four are unmistakably feline faces in shades of pink, and there's zero ambiguity once you decide that's a set. Next, lock in Microphones—they're all audio equipment, visually distinct from every other tile on the board. These two sets remove eight tiles and shrink the mental load immediately.

Once those are secure, tackle Head Accessories next. Yes, the cowboy hat, rainbow bow, safety helmet, and chef's hat look wildly different from each other, but they're all worn on the head and they're all standalone objects (not worn by characters). This set is more unified than it appears because every single item has the same functional category.

Mid-Game: Eliminate by Contrast

With three sets locked, you've got 12 tiles left, and the hard part begins. Look at the remaining characters and objects and ask yourself: "What clearly does not belong with what?"

The Women Vampires set is pure female characters with gothic/supernatural styling. Before you assign any character to this group, make sure they're depicted as full-bodied humans (or human-equivalent) with vampire aesthetic. This automatically rules out the cat character and any individuals who are primarily defined by an accessory rather than their vampire status.

The Scarf Wearers set is characters (of any type) with visible scarves, wraps, or neck clothing. The cat wears a scarf. The man wears a red scarf-like wrap. The balaclava-wearing person and the blonde woman both have wrapped or layered neck coverings. The defining detail is the neck area accessory, not the character's species or role.

By contrast, Golden Items contains zero characters—it's purely luxury objects. If it's not an inanimate decorative or magical item, it doesn't go here. This is your filter to keep objects and characters strictly separated.

End-Game: Nail the Final Overlaps

The last two or three sets require you to look at micro-details. Scarf Wearers and Women Vampires might seem to overlap if you're not careful. A female scarf wearer could almost fit with the vampires, right? But here's the key: the Women Vampires set is specifically about four distinct female vampire characters, each with unique clothing and styling (green dress, black hair, red clothing, black outfit). If a female character is primarily defined by wearing a scarf (like the blonde woman in the scarf group), she belongs to Scarf Wearers, not Women Vampires. The defining trait is what visually dominates the tile.

Similarly, don't confuse Head Accessories with items in other sets. The chef's hat is an accessory object, not something a character is wearing in a scene. It's standalone. The same logic applies to the bow, helmet, and cowboy hat—they're all isolated items awaiting a wearer, not integrated into a character's outfit in a photograph or illustration.

The Logic Behind This Connect Master Level 87 Solution

From Broad to Specific

The fastest way to crack Connect Master Level 87 is to start by categorizing tiles at the broadest level—"Is this a character or an object?"—and then narrow down within each category. All characters go into one mental pile; all objects go into another. Then subdivide: characters split into those with scarves, those with vampire aesthetics, and those that are cats. Objects split into audio equipment, accessories, and luxury items. By the time you've done this mental sorting, you're already 80% toward the solution because most of your tiles have fallen into obvious buckets.

The trick is resisting the temptation to use fuzzy, overlapping categories. Don't think "things you'd find in a fancy home" (which would mix microphones, golden items, and accessories). Instead, think "ornate metallic decorative pieces" for the golden set. Don't think "things that go on your head" (which could mean microphones too, if you squint). Instead, think "standalone wearable items for your head." Specificity kills ambiguity.

Naming Sets in Your Head Keeps You Honest

Every time I solved a Connect Master Level 87 group, I gave it a verbal name, and that simple act prevented me from double-using tiles. If I said, "This is the Scarf Wearers group," I instantly couldn't reassign the cat to "Animals" or the vampire-man to "Gothics" because the name anchored the trait. When you name each of the six sets in Connect Master Level 87—Microphones, Head Accessories, Golden Items, Scarf Wearers, Pink Cats, Women Vampires—you've created a mental checklist. Every tile has exactly one home, and when you're tempted to put a tile in a second group, the name reminds you it already belongs somewhere.

This method also works in reverse: if you're stuck, you can ask, "Which set is missing a member?" and scan the remaining tiles only through that set's lens. You'll spot the match instantly because you're no longer comparing apples to oranges across all possible categories.
