Looking for the hints and the answers for Thursday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! Happy Friday. The weather is about to take a drastic turn here, so I think it’s safe to say fall has arrived. It’s the best season, though. I’m looking forward to staying home and playing more games, including my daily dose of Connections.
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 6
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 — laughter, in a text (DEAD, HAHA, LOL, ROFL)
- Green group — art movements (DADA, DECO, GOTHIC, POP)
- Blue group — Peter Pan characters (HOOK, NANA, PETER, WENDY)
- Purple group — Lady ____ (BIRD, GAGA, LUCK, MACBETH)
Now I’m cooking. That’s four wins in a row.
I wasn’t 100% sure DEAD would go with the rest of the yellow group, but I took a gamble and it paid off. Then I saw three of the four Peter Pan words and remembered that NANA was the name of the dog.
I destroyed my chances of a perfect game by randomly guessing a group. But then I realized the link between BIRD and GAGA, and that the other two words fit in nicely with those. The green words were my clean-up group today.
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.
