Hello there! I’m no fortune teller, but I’m going to take a wild guess that you’re having a little trouble with today’s game of Connections and you’re here because you’d like to make sure you keep your streak going.
If I’m right (or maybe (hopefully) you just enjoy my writing), please feel free to do me a solid by following my Forbes blog. You’ll get a weekly round-up email that includes everything I publish — it’s a great way to support me and my work at no cost. I’d appreciate it. Anyway, today’s Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.

Connections Answers For August 22
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s connections are…
- Yellow group — performing artists (ACTOR, DANCER, SINGER, STAND-UP)
- Green group — Santa’s reindeer (DASHER, COMET, CUPID, VIXEN)
- Blue group — seen on Valentine’s Day (CARD, CHOCOLATE, HEART, ROSE)
- Purple group — “Bad ____” movies (BOYS, LIEUTENANT, SANTA, TASTE)
No joy for me today. I quickly figured that there was a group of Santa’s reindeer. DANCER tripped me up before I got all four words correct. STAND-UP was a bit of a giveaway for the performing artists group. However, I didn’t get either of the last two groups. I thought CHOCOLATE, HEART and TASTE were all “bitter” words (I hope that doesn’t say too much about me) and struck out. Bad Boys, Bad Santa and Bad Taste are all movies I enjoy too. I haven’t seen Bad Lieutenant yet, however.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Wednesday’s game if you need them.
