Connections spoiler warning
Every answer is available below, but hints, categories, and words stay covered until you choose to reveal them.
Yellow Group (Easiest)
Start with the most direct everyday meanings. This set usually has the cleanest shared idea.
PIECE OF CAKE
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
CONCEAL
Blue Group (Medium)
Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
WORDS BEFORE "BALL" IN SPORT NAMES
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
