Looking for Wednesday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Happy Thursday! I don’t know about you, but I’m already starting to snap up a bunch of things I need or want through early Black Friday sales. My credit card is screaming at me, but needs must.
Anyway, 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 November 16
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 — balderdash (BULL, HOGWASH, NONSENSE, ROT)
- Green group — helm (DIRECT, GUIDE, LEAD, STEER)
- Blue group — single/plural animals (BUFFALO, DEER, FISH, MOOSE)
- Purple group — great ____ (DANE, LAKE, SEAL, WHITE)
I slipped up a couple of times today, but I secured my 10th straight win all the same.
Obviously, there was going to be at least one group of animals to round up. I suspected that it would involve quadrupeds at first, so I had to start thinning out the herd (okay, okay, I’ll stop with the puns now).
I eliminated STEER by completing the green group. But I made an error by including BULL in my first stab at the blue words. I then realized that would make more sense with the yellow group.
I rolled back around to the blues and this time around took a shot in the dark by including SEAL, with the idea that the connection could be large mammals. Alas. I swapped that out for FISH and luckily completed the group. That left the purple words for the 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 Friday’s game if you need them.
