Looking for Wednesday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:
Hello, gang! It’s the last day of the month, which means it’s about time to send off invoices, pay bills and change the calendar page. There is at least one fun thing you can do today, though, and that’s play Connections.
Today’s Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
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.

My winning streak is up to six, and I landed a perfect game.
The Hitchcock movies caught my eye first, even though I don’t think I’ve seen any of them other than The Birds (I ought to correct that!). The yellow words were then straightforward enough.
I had an inkling about the blue connection, but the purple words seemed easier to put together once I saw the pairing of COTTAGE and CREAM. I went through the the remaining six words one at a time, saying out loud “Goose cheese, Robin cheese” and so on until STRING and SAY became the obvious, if slightly cheeky, answers. That left the sidekicks to wrap up another win for yours truly.
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 Friday’s game if you need them.
