Hey, folks! I hope your week’s off to a great start. 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.

Connections Answers For November 28
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
- Yellow group — rooms in a house (BEDROOM, DEN, KITCHEN, STUDY)
- Green group — land surrounded by water (ATOLL, BAR, ISLAND, KEY)
- Blue group — fill to excess (CRAM, JAM, PACK, STUFF)
- Purple group — bean ____ (BAG, COUNTER, DIP, SPROUT)
My winning streak is up to four, but a moderate red herring prevented me from getting a perfect game.
I got the blue group first, avoiding the potential misdirection of a CRAM and STUDY pairing. I didn’t have any trouble with the yellow group either.
It was the green group that gave me a spot of difficulty today. I figured that BAR, COUNTER and ISLAND (as in a kitchen island) would go together. I didn’t see a fourth word that made sense, so I plumped for ATOLL. I then realized my mistake and swapped in KEY in place of COUNTER. That left the purple words, for which I didn’t figure out the connection, unfortunately.
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 Wednesday’s game if you need them.
