Looking for the hints and the answers for Tuesday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another game of Connections! 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 Hints For October 4
Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today’s Connections groups, I’ll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them.
Today’s 16 words are:
- SHOW
- DONUT
- STOCKING
- TIGER
- LIFESAVER
- PRESENT
- CANDY CANE
- SNOWMAN
- REINDEER
- CHEERIO
- EXHIBIT
- REFEREE
- BAGEL
- DISPLAY
- CROSSWALK
- MISTLETOE
And the clues for today’s groups are:
- Yellow group — yuletide items
- Green group — make visible to the world
- Blue group — edible things that are shaped a bit like a CD (sidenote: we’ll soon become a society in which many kids don’t know what CDs are. Yikes)
- Purple group — perhaps striated
Connections Groups For October 4

Connections Answers For October 4
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 — Christmas-related (MISTLETOE, REINDEER, SNOWMAN, STOCKING)
- Green group — make public (DISPLAY, EXHIBIT, PRESENT, SHOW)
- Blue group — torus-shaped food (BAGEL, CHEERIO, DONUT, LIFESAVER)
- Purple group — things with stripes (CANDY CANE, CROSSWALK, REFEREE, TIGER)
My winning streak is back up to two. Let’s keep this train of successes chugging along.
The CANDY CANE red herring caught me out at first, but I got the correct Christmas words after that sole mistake. The blue group was next. I almost included CANDY CANE instead of LIFESAVER in there, mistakenly thinking it was a group of just food items, but the latter caught my eye right as I was about to submit my guess.
The green group was then easy enough, leaving me with the purple words. I actually figured out the purple connection before I completed the group for once.
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 Thursday’s game if you need them.
