Looking for Thursday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey there, folks! Happy Friday. 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 usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.
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 27
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 — shameless boldness (BRASS, CHEEK, GALL, NERVE)
- Green group — metal elements (COPPER, GOLD, NICKEL, SILVER)
- Blue group — WNBA teams (MERCURY, SKY, SPARKS, LIBERTY)
- Purple group — things with trunks (CARS, ELEPHANTS, SWIMMERS, TREES)
I remembered that BRASS is a compound, so I was able to get the green words right away. I completely overlooked the presence of MERCURY, so thankfully that wasn’t a member of this group.
The yellow words were up next, since BRASS was freed up. I then did something new for me while playing this game: I took a break. I could not figure out the blue or purple groups, so I tried to clear my head by taking care of some chores and errands.
Did that help me with today’s Connections? Not really.
I trial-and-errored my way to the blue group with two mistakes. I really should have figured out the purple group, though. That’s not a particularly difficult connection to make, in hindsight. A four-year-old could have managed that.
Nevertheless, my win streak is up to six. Three more to go to match my personal best.
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 Saturday’s game if you need them.
