Looking for Sunday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey there, folks! Welcome to the start of a new week. I hope it’s going to be a great one for you. 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 usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.
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 Groups For October 29

Connections Answers For October 29
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 — bird features (BEAK, FEATHER, TALON, WING)
- Green group — blink of an eye (FLASH, HEARTBEAT, SECOND, WINK)
- Blue group — mahjong tiles (BAMBOO, DRAGON, SEASON, WIND)
- Purple group — ____ button (BELLY, HOT, PANIC, SNOOZE)
I imagine this will be a tricky one for many folks, especially those who are unfamiliar with mahjong. Still, I fluked my way to eight wins in a row.
I got the yellow words right away, then I had to think for quite a while about my next move. Nothing was really gelling. The shuffle button can help in those cases. It put FLASH and WINK side-by-side and the green group became apparent.
From there, I took a random guess that left me one away from completing a group. A light bulb flashed above my head, I swapped out BAMBOO for HOT and got the purple group. That left me with the blue words to mop up.
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.
