Looking for the hints and the answers for Friday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Saturday, everyone! Your correspondent is on his way to Toronto for a few days for esports-related reasons, but I’m still making sure to cover Connections for you every day. 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.

I didn’t get tripped up by any red herrings for a second today. I got the green group right away, followed by the yellow and blue. I didn’t quite get the link between the purple group at first, but it didn’t matter since those were the four words I had left over.
