Looking for the hints and the answers for Monday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Today’s the day when many of you will be going back to work after a long weekend or back to school after an even longer summer. But those of you who don’t enjoy your job or classes can still look on the bright side: there’s a new game of Connections upon us. 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 5
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 — information displays (CHART, DIAGRAM, GRAPH, MAP)
- Green group — additional benefit (BONUS, EXTRA, ICING, PERK)
- Blue group — Thanksgiving food (GRAVY, PIE, STUFFING, TURKEY)
- Purple group — song titles with parentheses (I RAN, ISTANBUL, MONTERO, SATISFACTION)
I was yet again one mistake away from a perfect game today. The blue group was immediately apparent to me, then the yellow group came together in my mind. I had one silly slip up with the green category, though. I lumped in SATISFACTION instead of ICING, even though that didn’t make much sense. After correcting that error, I only had the purple words to mop up. I figured there was some kind of music link given MONTERO and SATISFACTION, but it didn’t click otherwise.
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 Wednesday’s game if you need them.
