Remember, remember the fifth of November. It’s Guy Fawkes Day in the U.K., which means millions of folks there will be enjoying fireworks displays. Let’s see if we can spark another celebration by keeping your Connections streak going.
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.

A perfect game takes me to two wins in a row. This is the easiest round of Connections I’ve played in a while, so I hope tomorrow’s is a little more challenging.
I got the blue group immediately. There aren’t many other connections you can make with ROLLING STONE. Getting the blue group first is always really helpful given the usual disparity in difficulty between the other groups.
The yellow group was up next for me, followed by the green words. I’m happy to say that I figured out the purple connection before sealing today’s victory.
