What are today’s Connections answers?
Here are the full answers to today’s Connections puzzle on Saturday, 28th December:
- “Nothing To It!”: Easy, No Sweat, Piece Of Cake, Sure Thing

This was a well-balanced Connections puzzle. I don’t think you need to be an expert on Greek mythology to pair ‘Golden Fleece’ and ‘Pandora’s Box’, but you’ll need a keen eye to separate the ‘Her’ from ‘Hershey’. The proverbs were the hardest group to match in my opinion – they almost made me kick the can down the road.Related
