Looking for the hints and the answers for Friday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Welcome to the weekend, gang! I hope you have far better fortune with today’s game of Connections than I did because… well, we’ll get to that. 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 Groups For September 6
Need some extra help?

Connections Answers For September 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 — baseball calls (BALL, OUT, SAFE, STRIKE)
- Green group — heat sources (FORGE, FURNACE, KILN, OVEN)
- Blue group — fish that are verbs (CARP, CATFISH, FLOUNDER, SMELT)
- Purple group — silent “L” (COLONEL, SALMON, WALK, YOLK)
This was, hand on heart, a disaster for me. Sure, I figured that there was a group of heat sources and another of baseball words, but I felt the right place to start was with the fish.
This was a poor decision.
I tried every possible combination of fish except for the correct one. I had a feeling that there might be something else going on with CATFISH, but nope, I had to keep SALMON in for every single attempt. My lives quickly drained away and my game was over without completing a single group.
Sunday’s Connections has to be a perfect game for me, right? I need it after these last two chaotic failures.
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 Sunday’s game if you need them.
