Looking for Tuesday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another game 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.
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’m up to six wins in a row. Even better, I reached this point with a perfect game today.
The green group caught my attention first, and it probably has nothing to do with the fan I still have blasting me with a breeze all day long, even in mid-October. The yellow group then came together for me — the sleep troubles I’ve been having lately may have at least helped those words click together in my mind.
I got the blue group without any problems next. There’s no timely personal link to these. They’re simply words that make sense together. That left me with the purple words. Even though I didn’t make the connection, it didn’t matter. One more perfect game for me, this time without a red herring in sight.
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.
