Looking for the hints and the answers for Thursday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Friday, folks! A Friday the 13th in October seems like a perfect time for a scary movie. Hope you’re going to watch one today if you’re into those.
In the meantime, 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 13
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 — beans (FAVA, KIDNEY, LIMA, PINTO)
- Green group — cities beginning with “L” (LAGOS, LIMERICK, LINCOLN, LUXOR)
- Blue group — poetry terms (LINE, METER, RHYME, VERSE)

That’s just what I needed after three losses on the trot. A perfect game is an ideal tonic.
I really enjoyed today’s game. I figured out quickly that there was something to do with cities, but the poetry group caught my eye first. LIMERICK was a clear red herring, I thought. Next up were the beans. Three words were obvious while LIMA, which is also the name of multiple cities, was the only other word that made sense here. That left the remaining four cities to group together, and the rappers to wrap things 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 Saturday’s game if you need them.
