Looking for the hints and the answers for Tuesday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
It’s Wednesday, and you know that that means! Well, it means a lot of things to a lot of different people. But, for our purposes, it means there’s a new game of Connections awaiting us. Just like every other day, but I digress. 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 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 — creatures in folklore (GNOME, GOBLIN, OGRE, TROLL)
- Green group — flower parts (BUD, LEAF, PETAL, STALK)
- Blue group — one involved in espionage (AGENT, MOLE, PLANT, SPY)
- Purple group — Chinese zodiac animals (DRAGON, HORSE, RABBIT, TIGER)
I am very, very annoyed with myself. This would have been a perfect game but for a few careless mistakes.
I clocked pretty quickly that there was probably a Chinese zodiac group given the presence of RABBIT and TIGER. But I fell into the trap of initially thinking DRAGON belonged with the folklore creatures. I slipped up twice there before realizing my error and nailing the yellow words. The purple group was up next.
But then, another flub. I bundled PLANT in with the flower words, even though it clearly belonged with the spy-related terms. I was very close to failure today, but I pulled through to get the green group then the blue words with one life remaining. Phew.
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.
