Hey there, troops! I hope you’re recovering well from your New Year’s celebrations.
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!

Alas, no perfect game today. However, my overall win streak is up to eight.
I quickly clocked that there was a group of baseball-related terms, but that’s where I made my only mistake in today’s game. I included STOP instead of DOUBLE on my first guess. I then corrected that to secure the blues.
The greens were up next and straightforward enough. After a moment or two of staring at the remaining eight words, I realized there were four food-related terms, so those had to go together. That left the purples for the win.
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.
