It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another round of Connections!
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.

I do enjoy when the NYT offers up a themed game of Connections and this one was no exception. I didn’t find it too difficult, so my win streak is up to nine games.
I probably have a bit of an advantage over many Connections players. Before I play each game, I copy out all the words for the list I include in each column. As I double check them, I often say the words (or initials or numbers) out loud. That helped me figure out what PU referred to, as well as the purple words. So, I got the yellow and purple groups right off the bat.
I struggled a bit with the blue and green groups. I had an idea about the blue connection, but didn’t realize the link between the green words at all. So I tried OK a couple of times as part of the blue group before trial and erroring my way to the correct combination and, ultimately, victory.
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 Thursday’s game if you need them.
P.S. Since the Nintendo Wii was featured in today’s puzzle, I’m now going to be vibing to the console’s menu music for the rest of the day. It’s very relaxing!
