Looking for the hints and the answers for Sunday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Happy Monday, everyone! I have my fingers crossed that you’re going to have a fantastic week. One thing that should get your week off on the right foot is the satisfaction of keeping your Connections streak going. I think the latest game is the toughest one I’ve played in a while, so just in case you need them, 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 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.

Connections Answers For August 21
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 — U.S. mountain states (ARIZONA, COLORADO, NEVADA, UTAH)
- Green group — soda brands (CRUSH, SPRITE, SQUIRT, MUG)
- Blue group — classic rock bands (GENESIS, KANSAS, RUSH, YES)
- Purple group — Tony ____ (HAWK, MONTANA, SOPRANO, STARK)
As I mentioned, this was a tough one. I’m okay with general geography knowledge, but it didn’t click that four of those states were in the Rockies — I’m not American, for what it’s worth. So, it took some trial and error to get the yellow group. I saw the blue group right after that. But with only one guess to work with, I struck out on the green and purple groups (I had no idea that Crush, Mug and Squirt are soda brands).
Ah well, there’s always tomorrow.
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 Tuesday’s game if you need them.
