Looking for the hints and the answers for Saturday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Sunday, everyone! Not to give too much away just yet, but today’s Connections game is a bit of a tricky one. Trust me, though: it’s not as difficult as it might seem at first. Think through it carefully, and you should win. If I can get a perfect game here, anyone can. 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 September 3
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 — female animals (COW, DOE, HEN, MARE)
- Green group — pronouns (I, IT, THEY, WE)
- Blue group — Roman numerals (D, L, M, V)
- Purple group — homophones (EWE, YOU, U, YEW)
There’s a lot going on with these words (and letters)!
First of all, I don’t know if everyone sees the grid in the exact same order at first, but I thought it was sweet to see I, L, U, V and YOU (“I love you”) in order like that.
There are a lot of potential red herrings here. But once I saw EWE, YOU and YEW, I figured those had to go together with U, so I got the purple group first. Next, it was easy to group the animals together since EWE was no longer in the equation. I then got the pronouns, those very normal things that all of us have and use every day. I also realized that the last four letters were Roman numerals too before I grouped them together.
So, today’s game was deceptively easy. I’m going to take that as a big win, and feel very pleased with myself for the rest of the day.
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 Monday’s game if you need them.
