Looking for Sunday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! I hope you had a fantastic weekend, whether it lasted two days or even five (though I don’t envy those of you who had to travel on Thanksgiving Eve). Fingers crossed you’re well rested and ready for the week ahead.
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.

I managed to extend my winning streak to three, but there was no perfect game this time due to an impulsive decision I made.
I noticed that the words going from the top left of the grid to the bottom right were HUM, GUM, SUM and RUM. Given that we’ve had a few homophone groups recently, I took the bait and made that my first guess. That was a silly move, as I would have had a perfect game otherwise.
I got the yellow group first, followed by the purples. It surprised me that those were the purple words, since it didn’t seem like an especially difficult group to deduce. Next up was the green group, which left me with the blues for the win. I do enjoy a mojito, and I figured out the connection before submitting that guess.
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.
