Hello everyone! I hope you have had a great week so far. Mine has been pretty good overall, but bad weather has prevented me from diving into my pool the last few days. Woe is me.
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.

A perfect game today brings my overall streak to 11.
I got the blues first, thanks to POMP and DAZZLE, while COURT and PLAZA were my way into the yellows. The greens seemed pretty obvious too, which is good because I would have never understood the purple group. That’s just too broad a category, as there are hundreds of emojis that encompass all sorts of things. I’m not a fan of that.
That’s all there is to do today Connections clues and answers. Make sure to check out my blog for hints and the solution for Friday’s game if you need them.
PS There is a fun new game out today called Shield. You play a frog-like manifestation of a shadow or soul that has been separated from its human and is trying to reconnect with it. The catch is that you can only traverse by moving between shadows.
It’s beautiful and has some playful ideas, but I felt like it dragged on a bit too long and got repetitive. Regardless, it’s a mostly fun game to play for a few hours.
