Solving Connections is all about spotting patterns and grouping words in sets. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for you:
Scan the list of 16 words and look for any obvious group of four. For instance, words like signal, dial, anchor might hint at broadcasting or radio-type themes.
Use the colour-difficulty cue: In the game the easiest category (yellow) often has the most obvious link, while purple is the trickiest. This helps you know which group to go for first.
Test a likely grouping by selecting four words. If they match a theme, they lock in then it gives you a clue.
Once you’ve found a couple of groups, the remaining words are fewer and the possible link becomes easier to spot (elimination helps).
Be mindful of traps, some words may seem like they belong but actually fit better elsewhere. In this puzzle, for instance, jam might look like something to do with spread or music, but here it's a film-type clue.
Stay calm and persistent. Sometimes the theme is less literal and more about categories you might not think of immediately. Once you spot the right one, then the rest clicks.
Happy puzzling with Connections.
