What are today’s Connections answers?
Here are the full answers to today’s Connections puzzle on Friday, 27th December:
- Breakfast Sides: Bacon, Grits, Hash, Toast
- Pushes, As A Button: Clicks, Hits, Presses, Taps

So the Phoenix and the Unicorn don’t belong together after all… I’d say the best way to solve today’s Connections puzzle is to match the three easier groups and avoid racking your brain over the ‘they have a horn’ one. Sure, it’s obvious once you realize it, but ‘horn’ is far from the first thing you’d think of when reading the words ‘car’ or ‘Africa’. Related
