Looking for Sunday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey there, folks! Welcome to the start of a new week. 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 expressed hope yesterday that today’s game would be more challenging. That it was, as it brought my two-game win streak crashing to a halt.
I got the yellow group after mistakenly including LP instead of CD at first. After that, I didn’t get any of the other groups. I’ve never heard of PLATTER being used in reference to a record until now, and I rarely think of SUGAR as a thing that comes in a cubed format.
Ah well, that’s how it goes sometimes. I’ll get back on track 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.
P.S. in case you didn’t get the “bones as money” reference, please enjoy some of the brilliant absurdity of I Think You Should Leave:
