Looking for some Connections hints to help with today’s puzzle on Saturday, 7th March? I was too! Sadly I didn’t have this guide. You do, though, so there is no excuse to lose your streak today! Here, we have a selection of hints or answers for you, so you can tailor the amount of help you need.
We don’t like seeing streaks end over here. So pick that Connections puzzle back up, and let’s get solving!
How to play Connections
Connections is one of the most popular (and challenging) daily puzzle games published by the New York Times (owners of Wordle). The aim of Connections is to group the 16 words of the day into four groups, where each group of four words has a common theme.
For instance, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter”, and “Wendy” are all Peter Pan characters. Or to take another example, “Action”, “Ballpark”, “Go”, and “Stick” are all words which commonly come just before the word “Figure”. These are the kinds of Connections you’ll need to make to solve the puzzle.
Your job is to figure out what these themes are that connect the various words together – but be wary, because a lot of the time there are deceptive red herring connections placed purely to throw you off! To win the game, you have to find all four Connections without making 4 mistakes. On your fourth mistake, the game is over and the answer is revealed automatically.
Each of the four groups in each day’s Connections puzzle is also assigned a different colour, which represents how easy or difficult the Connection is to find. These colours are: Yellow (Easiest), Green (Easy), Blue (Medium), and Purple (Hardest).

If you can read this message, you made it to the end of another tricky Connections puzzle! It was a doozy, too. Thankfully, the green group stuck out like a sore thumb (or a green thumb?) for me. And once you sort one category into place, the others start clicking together!
As is usually the case, the purple group was my favorite. I loved the reference to the game itself in there. I am always fond of anything that brings a bit of light humor to the puzzle, and that sure did!
