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.
ENDING IN METAL ELEMENTS
Green Group (Easy)
Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
STARTING WITH U.S. COINS
Blue Group (Medium)
Look inside each word. A smaller clue may be hidden, wrapped, or split across the letters.
POETS' MIDDLE NAMES
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
