Hints for the themes in today’s Connections puzzle

Here are some spoiler-free hints for the groupings in today’s Connections:

  • Yellow category - If you want smooth, bare skin, you might seek out these types of services.

  • Green category - You might do this to a long lock of hair, a string, or fishing line.

  • Blue category - These things all share a common feature, structurally speaking.

  • Purple category - A fill-in-the-blank, with a letter from the alphabet.

BEWARE: Spoilers follow for today’s Connections puzzle!

We’re about to give away some of the answers. Scroll slowly if you don’t want the whole thing spoiled. (The full solution is a bit further down.)

A heads up about the tricky parts

If you know what the boxes in a Google Sheet are called, you’ll have an easier time with today’s blue category.

You might see HONEYCOMB and WAX as words that both relate to bees, but those words don’t connect today.

WIND is a verb today, not a noun referring to a breeze.

I did not know this before today, but “b-school” is apparently a common abbreviation for business school. You might find that helpful.

What are the categories in today’s Connections?

  • Yellow: REMOVE, AS BODY HAIR

  • Green: TWIST AROUND

  • Blue: THINGS MADE OF CELLS

  • Purple: B-___

DOUBLE BEWARE: THE SOLUTION IS BELOW

Ready to learn the answers to today’s Connections puzzle? I give them all away below.

What are the yellow words in today’s Connections?

The yellow grouping is considered to be the most straightforward. The theme for today’s yellow group is REMOVE, AS BODY HAIR and the words are: LASER, PLUCK, THREAD, WAX.

What are the green words in today’s Connections?

The green grouping is supposed to be the second-easiest. The theme for today’s green category is TWIST AROUND and the words are: COIL, SPOOL, WIND, WRAP.

What are the blue words in today’s Connections?

The blue grouping is the second-hardest. The theme for today’s blue category is THINGS MADE OF CELLS and the words are: HONEYCOMB, ORGANISM, SOLAR PANEL, SPREADSHEET.

What are the purple words in today’s Connections?

The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest. The theme for today’s purple category is B-___ and the words are: BALL, MOVIE, SCHOOL, VITAMIN.

How I solved today’s Connections

SPREADSHEET and SOLAR PANEL both stick out to me as things that have cells. (A cell is the name for a spot in a spreadsheet, and SOLAR PANELS are lined with photovoltaic cells.) That would fit with ORGANISM and HONEYCOMB. 🟦

I’m seeing a lot of words related to things that are wrapped in a cylinder pattern, like a SPOOL of THREAD, or a COIL. There seems to be a lot of overlap, so let’s look for a word that sticks out.

PLUCK is an odd one. Oh, that goes with LASER, THREAD, and WAX, which are all methods of hair removal. 🟨

I’m guessing WIND, COIL, SPOOL, and WRAP go together as synonyms for tightly binding something. 🟩

That leaves BALL, SCHOOL, VITAMIN, and MOVIE. Hmm, maybe they’re all things you can pair with the letter “B”? VITAMIN B, B-BALL (basketball), a B grade in school, and a B-MOVIE? 🟪 Oh, apparently B-SCHOOL is a slang term for business school. OK!

How to play Connections

I have a full guide to playing Connections, but here’s a refresher on the rules:

First, find the Connections game either on the New York Times website or in their Games app (formerly the Crossword app). You’ll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase. Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common. Often they are all the same type of thing (for example: RAIN, SLEET, HAIL, and SNOW are all types of wet weather) but sometimes there is wordplay involved (for example, BUCKET, GUEST, TOP TEN, and WISH are all types of lists: bucket list, guest list, and so on).

Select four items and hit the Submit button. If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed. (Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.) If your guess was incorrect, you’ll get a chance to try again.

You win when you’ve correctly identified all four groups. But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.

How to win Connections

The most important thing to know to win Connections is that the groupings are designed to be tricky. Expect to see overlapping groups. For example, one puzzle seemed to include six breakfast foods: BACON, EGG, PANCAKE, OMELET, WAFFLE, and CEREAL. But BACON turned out to be part of a group of painters along with CLOSE, MUNCH, and WHISTLER, and EGG was in a group of things that come by the dozen (along with JUROR, ROSE, and MONTH). So don’t hit “submit” until you’ve confirmed that your group of four contains only those four things.

If you’re stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to have no connection to the others. If all that comes to mind when you see WHISTLER is the painting nicknamed “Whistler’s Mother,” you might be on to something. When I solved that one, I ended up googling whether there was a painter named Close, because Close didn’t fit any of the obvious themes, either.

Another way to win when you’re stuck is, obviously, to read a few helpful hints–which is why we share these pointers every day. Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
