Connections spoiler warning

Every answer is available below, but hints, categories, and words stay covered until you choose to reveal them.

Start with the most direct everyday meanings. This set usually has the cleanest shared idea.

HAIRDOS

Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.

Think more broadly: titles, culture, proper nouns, and specialized labels can all be fair game.

MARVEL CHARACTERS

Try adding, placing, or pairing the same short word with each answer instead of reading the words alone.
