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.
PLACES TO STORE CLOTHES
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
THINGS THAT COME IN STICKS
Blue Group (Medium)
Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.
FAMOUS PERFUMES
Purple Group (Hardest)
Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
