Looking for the hints and the answers for Wednesday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Thursday, gang! I just made my first batch of butternut squash soup of the season. Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it. Fall food is the best food.
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 12
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 — conceal (BLOCK, COVER, HIDE, MASK)
- Green group — parts of a watch (CROWN, DIAL, HAND, STRAP)
- Blue group — Wonder Woman’s costume (LASSO, SHIELD, SWORD, TIARA)
- Purple group — things that can run (CANDIDATE, FAUCET, MASCARA, NOSE)
Here’s the good news: I’ve got a new streak going. The bad news? It’s a streak of losses. Today makes it three in a row.
This game was a disaster for me. I didn’t get a single group. At first, I thought that there was some kind of weapon connection with LASSO, SWORD and SHIELD. I did not get the Wonder Woman aspect at all. And then a red herring caught me out with MASCARA, since I assumed that would be part of a makeup/self-care group with MASK and two other words that… I guess aren’t here at all.
I’m particularly mad about not getting the green group. I just this week started wearing a watch again for the first time in over a decade. Alas.
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 Friday’s game if you need them.
