If you are looking to complete yourConnectionspuzzle today, you may get hints to move past the frustrating bits and finish it off. I liked this puzzle,as it was hard enough that it forced me to really consider my choices, while I never felt like I was desperate or scrambling for answers. That’s not always the case, as while I practice every day, I am not always able to solve it. Figuring this out felt fun, though, and now I can give you all the hints.

Today’s Connections Category Hints

If you are looking for some hints to finish this puzzle off, you may get some from me in this section. There are some difficult ones here if you don’t know what you’re looking at,so the category names are particularly important. Context is always important, but I think that’s even more true in this one. There are a lot of potential stumbling points in this one, but I have four clues to help you get through the end of the puzzle:
Wordle History: Today’s Answer & All Past Words
Wordle is a simple daily word game that has taken the internet by storm. With only 6 chances to get the right answer, players may need a little help.
As I said,you can get a lot of information from just the category namesin this one. That will give you a massive leg up on the puzzle. Then you can check out the spoilers if you still need more answers.
POKE
STICK
I got this one first after noticing POKE and JAB, which made it click in my head. I got STICK fairly soon after, but it took me a moment to clock PIERCE.That was mainly due to my thinking about PIERCE as a nameand not a verb. However, once I realized where my mistake was, I could finish up the category and proceed to the rest of the words.
OVER
ROGER
This one took me a long time to figure out, and it was ROGER that eventually led me to the right answer.I thought it might belong with some of the other names, but once I realized there were only three names left, I dismissed that possibility. I then figured out what the rest of this category was, but NEGATIVE took the longest for me to add. Luckily, I only missed out on one guess before I was able to get to this category and finish it.

JUDGES
NUMBERS
I got this one second, where my private primary school came in handy for knowing where all these are.I nearly had DANIEL with the rest of the names in a category at one point, but it was not the right thing to do with this puzzle. After that, however, I looked at the words again, and it hit me like a lightning bolt. I was able to quickly finish this one up, and I moved on to what, at the time, were the remaining two categories.
SUGAR
SURE
I know enough about Irish to know how SIOBHAN is pronounced, so when I saw this, I knew something was up. I did have it with the other names for a little while,but when it became clear that wasn’t a category, I put it to the side for later. I did come back to this one once all the other categories were solved, making it easy to finish it up and get it over with.
