The weekend is finally here, time to sleep in, relax, and enjoy today’s Connections. There’s nothing too difficult about the categories today, but they do have a few little misdirections. Luckily, we’ve already figured out today’s answers and if you require a little cheat sheet, we’ve got you covered.
One of the best tips for playing a game of Connections is to utilize the shuffle button provided by the game. Oftentimes, certain words will be automatically placed next to other words to force a false connection in your brain. One of the more notable examples of this is the February 7 Connections where the entire top line consisted of SPONGE, BOB, SQUARE, and PANTS. This was almost a guaranteed wasted attempt for every player that day and really set the tone for the future. It’s an important thing to look out for when beginning a new day.
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.

HORSEFEATHERS |
Well, this whole category was just a CROCK! Only kidding, yellow was the first category we scored today with the obvious HOGWASH and HORSEFEATHERS leading the charge. There were a few other words in today’s game that tried to trip us up as PITCHFORK, BOWLINE, and SHEEPSHANK were all two words that mix into one. Having five though doesn’t fir the normal COnnections aesthetic so we were able to susu out that trick right away.

BATON |

HURDLE |
POLE |
We scored the green category in third place today, with only eight words left it wasn’t too difficult to see the connection. HURDLE and BATON were the two initial words we saw and the others made sense in the long run. We did expect the category to be something involving the Olympics, but track and field makes more sense.

Ah, the classic devil costume, a staple of middle-aged people everywhere. stuck deep in the back of the closet, always ready at a moment’s notice. But times are changing, aren’t they? The old reliable devil costume is starting to feel a little snug. You’ve put on weight, you know it, I know it. Everyone can see it but they don’t say anything because we are a polite society when we’re not on the internet. This is the turning point, put away that snug devil costume and go buy a pirate one.
That’s right, the pirate costume is a perfect go-to outfit for our chubby middle years. Tattered, but loose, pants and big puffy shirts fit beautifully on our fully grown bodies. There’s even a selection of hats to cover that bald spot you refuse to acknowledge. Reject the devil, embrace the high seas!
You can make your own pirate costume from items found at your local thrift store. You get to be creative and save money!
