Looking for the hints and the answers for Monday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! Hope your week’s off to a great start. I’m getting back to reality after a terrific, bittersweet weekend at the Overwatch League Playoffs and Grand Finals. I’ll really miss OWL if it’s actually over. Anyway, 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 October 3
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 — long-haired animals (AFGHAN, ALPACA, ANGORA, YAK)

After yesterday’s mishap, I’m back on track with a victory today.
There were a couple of red herrings for the green group, and so I made a couple of mistakes there. I kept YAK in my guesses and totally overlooked the fact CHAT was on the grid. After I got the green group, it was plain sailing.
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.
