Looking for Saturday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend. Let’s make sure we keep your Connections streak going. 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 October 29
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 — mishmash (HASH, JUMBLE, MEDLEY, STEW)
- Green group — go up against (CHALLENGE, CONFRONT, FACE, OPPOSE)
- Blue group — group of offspring (BROOD, CLUTCH, HATCH, LITTER)
- Purple group — guitar parts (BODY, BRIDGE, FRET, NECK)
Phew, I made it to seven wins in a row but only just.
The purple group was the first one I figured out today. I pulled together those words immediately, with FRET being the catalyst. The green group gave me no problems either.
But then I ran into an obstacle. I was on the right track with the yellow and blue connections from the jump, but couldn’t quite figure out which words went into which pot.
CLUTCH threw me off, since I’d never heard of that in reference to offspring. It’s the number of eggs that a bird lays on each nesting attempt. I didn’t know that (you learn something new every day!), and MEDLEY didn’t quite fit with the other yellow words in my mind. So it was a bit of trial and error to get these two groups with one guess to spare.
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 Monday’s game if you need them.
