Looking for the hints and the answers for Wednesday’s game of Connections? You can find them here:
Hey, folks! Hope you’re having a great week so far. It’s been a super busy one for me, but I’m enjoying it.
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.

I would have had a perfect game but for a careless mistake. In any case, my winning streak is back up to three in a row.
I initially thought there was a reference to members of famous bands given BEATLE and STONE, but I didn’t see any other words that made sense with those so I abandoned that idea. I then got the yellow group first.
The blue group was where I made my only mistake — I included NAT (for Washington Nationals) rather than the more obvious MET. After I fixed my error, the green and purple groups came together.
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 Friday’s game if you need them.
