Looking for Friday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, everyone! Welcome to the weekend. I hope you make the most of 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 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.

I’m back to winning ways after yesterday’s flub.
The blue group was most apparent to me at first, but I got caught out by the red herring of PIPE on my first two guesses. I then deduced the green group, which I locked in after correctly bringing the blues together.
The yellow group then became clear, leaving the purples to wrap things up. I didn’t figure out the connection for the latter. As someone who travelled hundreds of miles for an esports event just a few weeks ago, I probably should have figured that out.
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 Sunday’s game if you need them.
