Happy Thursday, folks! It’s a big day on both sides of the Atlantic, as the US celebrates Independence Day and the UK heads to the polls for a general election. The latter won’t be in everyone’s favour, of course, but it looks like there will be a new occupant of 10 Downing Street this weekend.
Today News Connections hints and answers coming soon.
How to play connections
In ConnectionsYou are given a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort them into four groups of four by finding the connections between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb, or rappers.
There is only one solution to each puzzle, and you have to be careful with words that fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to see if there are any connections between the words.
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 usually the hardest to figure out. The purple group often contains puns, so keep that in mind.
Select four words that you think go together and press Submit. If you guess incorrectly, you lose a life. If you’re close to a correct group, you may see a message that you’re one word away from the correct word, but you still have 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 some hints, and if you’re really struggling, the Connections answers.

My first perfect game in a long time allowed me to extend my three-game winning streak.
CACHE gave me an entry point into the greens, and Attraction did the same for the yellows. I also found the blues a bit straightforward. That left the purples (which I didn’t understand the connection to, but should have) as the winner.
