Happy Thursday, folks! Hope you’re having a smashing week so far.
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.

This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
- Yellow group — states of matter (GAS, LIQUID, PLASMA, SOLID)

- Blue group — “ph” words that also work with “f” (PHAT, PHEW, PHILLY, PHISH)

My overall winning streak is up to 17 after my first perfect game in a couple of days.
The blues caught my eye first, though I suspected those were the purples given the wordplay involved. There aren’t too many types of connections that PHISH is going to fall under, you know?
The yellows were then pretty straightforward. I didn’t have an issue with the greens, which left the purples for the win. I‘m pleased to say I did figure out the purple connection before hitting the submit button for the final time.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connection’s clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Friday’s game if you need them.
