Today’s ‘Connections’ Hints And Answers For Friday, December 8 - Forbes

Looking for Thursday’s Connections hints and answers? You can find them here:

Hey, everyone! The weekend’s almost here, but before we get there, we have one more round of Connections to enjoy.

Today’s Connections hints and answers are coming right up.

How To Play Connections

In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.

There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.

Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.

If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.

Connections Answers For December 8

Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.

This is your final warning!

Today’s Connections answers are...

Yellow group — decline (EBB, FADE, FLAG, WANE)
Green group — absolute (PURE, SHEER, TOTAL, UTTER)
Blue group — express (AIR, SPEAK, STATE, VOICE)
Purple group — superhero last names (BANNER, PRINCE, STARK, WAYNE)

I’m back to my winning ways after a stumble or two today.

I thought I had the blue group, but as it turned out, UTTER didn’t belong there. I changed strategy once I saw BANNER, STARK and WAYNE on the diagonal and realized what those referred to. I got the green group next, followed by the blues and then the yellows. Not a perfect game, but I can’t complain too much about that.

That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Saturday’s game if you need them.
