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.
THINGS YOU PUT COINS INTO
Green Group (Easy)
Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
ASSOCIATED WITH PENGUINS
Blue Group (Medium)
Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.
ENDS OF FAMOUS FONTS
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
