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.
GRANOLA INGREDIENTS
Green Group (Easy)
Look for a shared family, type, or common phrase that is one step beyond the obvious meanings.
PAYMENT METHODS
Blue Group (Medium)
Each word can name a kind, type, or version of one broader idea.
AMEX CARD TYPES
Purple Group (Hardest)
Expect wordplay. Sounds, hidden pieces, letter changes, or phrase endings may matter more than definitions.
