Looking for Sunday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hey, everyone! I trust that you had a fantastic weekend. How about them [insert sports team here], huh? 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.

Chalk up another perfect game for me. That’s four in a row. Better yet, that’s my 14th straight win, a new personal best.
My first thought was that there were more than four primates on the grid, so I had to start reducing those numbers. I got the purple group first, which surprised me, as I thought that was a pretty obvious group. There aren’t many other groups that MIME would fit into easily.
The yellow group was up next. No issues there. The same goes for the greens. I didn’t quite figure out the blue connection — I reckoned they’d be generic flavorings than types of chutney. Nevertheless, that’s another win for me.
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.
