Looking for the hints and the answers for Sunday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Labor Day, folks! I hope you’ve recovered from yesterday’s Connections game. Easier than it looked at first, though, right? While I wasn’t able to keep my perfect game streak going today, I got close. 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 4
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 — painting accessories (BRUSH, CANVAS, EASEL, PALETTE)
- Green group — automatic transmission settings (DRIVE, NEUTRAL, PARK, REVERSE)
- Blue group — things with teeth (COMB, GEAR, SAW, ZIPPER)
- Purple group — ____ chair (FIRST, FOLDING, HIGH, LAWN)
Just one mistake for me today. I initially included GEAR in the green group, which didn’t make much sense in hindsight — even though I don’t drive. After the green group, the yellow words were straightforward enough. It then took me a minute to realize FIRST belonged in the purple group, as in the lead lawyer in a trial or the first chair in an orchestra. That then left me with the blue group for another victory.
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 Tuesday’s game if you need them.
