Looking for the hints and the answers for Sunday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Hey, gang! Welcome to the start of a new week. 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 9
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 — crops (CORN, CUCUMBER, PEPPER, TOMATO)
- Green group — slang for head (CROWN, DOME, MELON, NOODLE)
- Blue group — song (CUT, NUMBER, SINGLE, TRACK)
- Purple group — things that whistle (BIRD, KETTLE, REFEREE, TRAIN)
That makes it seven wins in a row for me, a new record. And even better, I managed to reach that goal with a perfect game.
I got the four groups in order. The yellow and green words were easy enough. But I was a little stumped for the blue and purple. A completely lucky guess secured the blue group for me, but in hindsight, that connection should have been obvious.
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.
P.S. because we had a song group today and I simply cannot listening to this creepy but sweet track, please enjoy Snake Pool’s “Figure in the Background”:
