Looking for the hints and the answers for Thursday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Hey, everyone! Welcome to September and the start of a long weekend for many of us in the U.S. and Canada. I hope you make the most of it. Today’s Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.

Connections Answers For September 1
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s connections are…
- Yellow group — drink vessels (GOBLET, SNIFTER, TUMBLER, STEIN)
- Green group — woodwinds (CLARINET, FLUTE, OBOE, SAXOPHONE)
- Blue group — American poets (BISHOP, FROST, OLDS, POUND)
- Purple group — consecutive double letters (BALLOON, BASSOON, COFFEE, FRICASSEE)
Not my best game. It was fairly obvious there was a woodwind group, but it took a couple guesses to deduce that the odd one out wasn’t FLUTE, which I thought would go into the yellow category. I got green, then yellow, then I was stumped.
COFFEE and POUND could have been types of cake, but nope. I’m not all too familiar with American poets. I didn’t catch that there were words with two sets of double letters — even though I’ve written about Quordle nearly every single day for over a year and should be used to such tricks. Sigh.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Saturday’s game if you need them.
