Hi there, pop pickers! 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 12
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 — murky condition (CLOUD, FOG, HAZE, MIST)
- Green group — follow (SHADOW, TAIL, TRACK, TRAIL)
- Blue group — pinball machine components (BALL, BUMPER, FLIPPER, PLUNGER)
- Purple group — ____land countries (ICE, IRE, FIN, NETHER)
That’s four perfect games in a row for me. I’m now at five straight wins overall.
I managed to get the groups in order of difficulty. The yellows were straightforward enough, as were the greens — that is, once I let go of my initial idea that there was a group of dolphin-related words (FIN, TAIL, FLIPPER).
The blue group then clicked for me — I do enjoy the odd game of pinball. That left me with the purples, which I probably should have figured out. In any case, as a Scot, I’m offended my homeland was omitted (not really).
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 Wednesday’s game if you need them.
