How to play Connections
Connections is one of the most popular (and challenging) daily puzzle games published by the New York Times (owners of Wordle). The aim of Connections is to group the 16 words of the day into four groups, where each group of four words has a common theme.
For instance, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter”, and “Wendy” are all Peter Pan characters. Or to take another example, “Action”, “Ballpark”, “Go”, and “Stick” are all words which commonly come just before the word “Figure”.
Your job is to figure out what these themes are that connect the various words together – but be wary, because a lot of the time there are deceptive red herring connections placed purely to throw you off! To win the game, you have to find all four Connections without making 4 mistakes. On your fourth mistake, the game is over and the answer is revealed automatically.
Each of the four groups in each day’s Connections puzzle is also assigned a different colour, which represents how easy or difficult the Connection is to find. These colours are: Yellow (Easiest), Green (Easy), Blue (Medium), and Purple (Hardest).

What is today’s Connections answer?
Here is the answer to today’s Connections puzzle on Monday, 7th April:
- Yellow: Throb (Beat, Pound, Pulse, Thump)
- Green: Landforms (Cape, Crater, Gorge, Ridge)
- Blue: Picture Hanging Needs (Hammer, Hanger, Level, Nail)
- Purple: Foot___ (Ball, Hills, Locker, Print)
I had the easiest time with the Green group, since all of those (except for Cape, which I solved after classifying the rest) are obvious terrain words. I got the Yellow group next, and then the Blue group, which probably should have taken me less time considering how many Ikea frames I need to put up around the house.
As usual, the Purple group gave me some difficulty, even though it’s probably not too bad once you associate playing “Football” with needing to buy a pair of trainers first at “Foot Locker.”
