Looking for Saturday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend. I’ve finally shaken this non-Covid sickness that’s been hounding me for over a week, so I’m going to be spending much of the day sorting out the Black Friday orders that I haven’t organized yet. My apartment is going to look so good when it’s all finished.
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 December 3
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 answers are…
- Yellow group — monthly bills (CABLE, ELECTRIC, GAS, WATER)

I missed out on a perfect game today, but I’ll take a ninth straight win.
Despite LINK and SONIC appearing in the top left spots and getting me excited about a potential group of video game characters, nothing else made sense with those. I spotted the green group first. I tackled the purple words next, but had a couple of errors as I included GAS (as in “gas up”) for a couple of guesses before finding the right combination.
Then, a mistake with the blues. Uh oh. Including CABLE on my first guess here left me with one life remaining. Thankfully, I recognized that CABLE would fit with the yellow words. That allowed me to complete the green, then yellow groups and maintain my streak. Phew.
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 Monday’s game if you need them.
