While today’s categories have clearer patterns than usual, players are still advised to watch for double-meaning words and deceptive pairings.
Want a hint? Think colors, celebrity families, and tools.
The “Connections” puzzle continues to grow in popularity for its perfect mix of simplicity and cleverness—making it a favorite morning ritual for puzzle fans around the world.
