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.
CLASSIC AMERICAN PERFORMANCE CARS
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
FEATURES OF A MIME COSTUME
Blue Group (Medium)
Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.
___ HEART
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
