Connections Hints
Connections Hint FAQ
What is this hint page for?
This page provides step-by-step hints for Connections-style puzzles. You can reveal categories and words gradually so you can keep playing without immediately seeing the full solution.
Are these hints for today’s puzzle?
By default, this page opens the most recent puzzle in the archive. Use the navigation arrows to move through older puzzle dates.
How do I use hints without spoilers?
Start by revealing only the category (group name). If you still feel stuck, reveal the words one group at a time. This way you get just enough help while preserving the challenge.
What should I reveal first?
If you want the smallest hint, reveal one category name and try to find its four words yourself. If you still can’t, reveal words for that group only.
Can I view hints for older puzzles?
Yes. Use the left/right arrows to move through the archive. Each page shows hints for a specific puzzle date so you can practice past rounds.
Do hints show the complete answer?
You control the reveal. By default, categories and words are blurred. Toggle each section to uncover as little or as much as you want.
Does this site include Unlimited, Archive, and Custom puzzles?
Yes. Play unlimited rounds on the home page, browse the archive, or create your own puzzle on /custom and share it with friends.
Where do I play the actual game?
The main game is on the home page. You can switch between Unlimited, Archive, and Custom modes inside the game.
