Looking for Friday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! I hope you’ve got an excellent weekend lined up. 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.
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.

My eight-day win streak is over.
I only got the green group today. I had it in my head that there was a bunch of satellite-related words (DISH, LASER, WIRE and RADAR), but gave up on that idea after one guess. I didn’t see anything else that made sense, somehow.
Also, I had no idea SPAM was an acronym. The more you know.
