Today's Connections Hints & Answers For March 13, 2024 (Puzzle #275)

The mid-week Connections collection is here to be solved and most fans of the game shouldn't have too much trouble solving today's answers. There isn't anything too tricky about today's word groupings and with a little patience, and our hints, anyone can easily put today's game in the win column.

One of the best tips we can offer a player for the game is to utilize the shuffle button. Connections is curated by an actual human and they are very smart. Oftentimes there will be word groupings used that are not an actual answer and this can easily force you to lose out on some precious attempts. One of the best examples is the Connections from February 7th, this tricky list had SPONGE, BOB, SQUARE, and PANTS all listed as the top row. Many players were quick to click the words, only to be met with a lost attempt.

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

Halloween is always an easy score for us, so this spooky-themed mix of words was guaranteed to be a quick win for today. CANDY and PUMPKINS led the charge and it didn't take much more effort to score the rest and add the yellow category to the win pile.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

Despite our instant attraction to Halloween, the green category was our actual first score for the day. FENNEL and ANISE stood out fast, and we actually lost an attempt as we went with TARRAGON and PUMPKIN first. We were quick to see our mistake and move toward the win.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

This was our last score for the day and the 'leftovers'. Even after seeing the category solved it took us a minute to gather what it all meant. BEAN and MELON made immediate sense, but it's not often you hear about someone's head being referred to as NOODLE or NUT. Despite that, Connections is great due to the fact you only need to score three of the four for a win.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

Previous work in jewelry retail helped us score the purple category today. Each cut of a gemstone is very precise and these are definitely the most popular of cuts.

• BAGUETTE: The baguette-cut stone has a long shape, very similar to an Emerald, but more rectangular.
• EMERALD: An emerald-cut stone is shaped with long parallel cuts along with clipped corners, this makes an octagon-like shape.
• PRINCESS: Princess cut stones appear square from the face-up, but are shaped like inverted pyramids. This is one of the more popular diamond cuts.
• RADIANT: Radiant cut stones also have a shape similar to an emerald, but their facets are cut in a more similar way to that of round stones.
