Today’s ‘Connections’ Hints And Answers For Saturday, December 23 - Forbes

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

Hey, folks! Happy holidays! I hope you’ll be spending the next week or so with loved ones or doing whatever else it is you need to refresh and recharge ahead of 2024.

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 23

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 — means of transportation (BOAT, CAR, PLANE, TRAIN)
Green group — willing to participate (DOWN, GAME, IN, ON BOARD)
Blue group — little bit, in a recipe (DASH, DROP, PINCH, SPLASH)
Purple group — ____ berry (BLUE, GOOSE, RASP, STRAW)

That makes it five perfect games in a row. As for my overall winning streak, that’s up to a stonking 15.

ON BOARD caught my eye immediately, likely because it’s two words. It didn’t quite make sense with any of the modes of transportation, so I scanned the rest of the grid of potential pairings. The rest of the greens then fell into place.

I got the blues next after failing to see anything else that made sense for DASH. The yellows, a pretty basic group all things considered, then fell into place. That left the purple group. Since blueberries are my favorite fruit, of course I made that connection.

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 Sunday’s game if you need them.
