Looking for Friday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, everyone! Welcome to the weekend. I hope you’ve got some edifying plans lined up, even if that simply means getting all your gift shopping done so you don’t have to worry about it in December.
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.

For the second day in a row, I had every group figured out before I started solving the puzzle. Maybe the games have been easier or perhaps I’m just getting a bit better at this game. I can’t say for sure, but my streak won’t last forever. In any case, it was my second perfect game on the trot and 12th straight win.
As I was copying out the list of words, I recognized there were several homophones. This was the second such group we’ve seen in the last few days, but still, I was able to check the purple words off my list right away.
The green group was next, followed by the yellows. That left me with the blues (which had a fairly obvious connection to me) to seal another win.
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 Sunday’s game if you need them.
