Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to a new set of Connections. We barely pulled out a win in today’s game, but it was still successful. That’s one of the best things about the game, you really only need to solve three of the four categories and let the leftover words glide you into home base. That’s a sports reference, I know sports.

If you’re out there struggling yourself, we always recommend using Connection’s Shuffle button when you get stuck. This simple process can often help your brain see new possible matches. It also helps break down any incorrect word combinations that you might be focusing on. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s a quick and simple trick to help out when you’re in a jam.

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

ADVERTISING FORMAT

BANNER	BILLBOARD	POSTER	SIGN

SIGN, ENDORSE, SUPPORT, ENDORSE, and INITIAL. These are the words that were almost our downfall. I think we ended up wasting almost every attempt trying to make this incorrect “Supportive” category work. But luckily, after a few shuffles, we say BILLBOARD and POSTER. That was what altered the course and brought us to score the yellow category. After that, it was easy sailing, although we were still very careful since we only had one chance left.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

INAUGURAL

FIRST	INITIAL	MAIDEN	PREMIER

Green came in second for us and happened fairly quickly after yellow was scored. FIRST and INITIAL were the two that started it off and it didn’t take long to match up the rest. MAIDEN took us a little longer than PREMIER to see, but that’s just because we couldn’t let go of the wedding-theme connection with that word.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

ADVOCATE FOR

BACK	CHAMPION	ENDORSE	SUPPORT

Once we were down to eight words it was clear that the “Supportive” category we insisted existed did actually exist. We were just looking at it incorrectly. The purple words stood out as not working alongside these so it was a fast sprint to the finish line (another sports reference.)

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

PRONOUN PLUS “E”

HERE	THEME	USE	WEE

The leftover words for the day, and we totally didn’t see the connection until the category popped up. Another clever way to throw words that normally have nothing to do with each other into the mix. We certainly hope that you had a win for the day as well, but I suppose if you’re reading this then you’ve come here for the answers so you’ve probably already won. Congrats to both of us!
