How to Play Connections:

1. You’re given a grid of 16 words. Arrange them into four groups of four by finding the links between them. These groups could be related to things like movie franchises, types of verbs, or rappers.
2. Each puzzle has only one solution. Be careful with words that could fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to help find connections.
3. The groups are colour-coded: yellow (easiest), blue and green (medium), and purple (hardest, often involves wordplay).
4. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you’re wrong, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close, you might get a hint that you’re one word away, but you still need to figure out which one to swap.
5. If you make four mistakes, it’s game over.

Additional Tips:

• Yellow group: Indicates something tense.
• Green group: Features mild exclamations.
• Blue group: Refers to “12 Days of Christmas.”
• Purple group: Involves sticky substances.

Today’s Connections (October 25):

• Yellow group: Grammar tense terms (FUTURE, PAST, PERFECT, PRESENT)
• Green group: “Gracious me!” (GOODNESS, HEAVENS, LORD, MERCY)
• Blue group: “12 Days of Christmas” (DRUMMER, LADY, RING, SWAN)

Remember, there is only one solution for each puzzle.  It is a fun game that you will gradually understand by making connections and hints.
