Today's Connections Answer – Tips to help you solve it

Unlike our guide to today's Wordle answer, where we recommend the best Wordle seed words as a strategy, solving connections is based on identifying connecting categories among 16 words. The difficulty level of each category is represented by a color; Yellow is the simplest grouping and purple is the most challenging. Once you make four mistakes in your guesses, the answers will appear, so hints can be helpful.

If you need hints on solving the groupings, here are the topics for each group based on order of difficulty:

🟨 Yellow: .
🟩 Green: Event with dance
🟦 Blue: Reply to iPhone message tapbacks
🟪 Purple: “Pan”

Here's a bigger hint: Make yourself dance, add a period, reply to a text with an emoji, and sway.

So what are today's Connections answers for game #502?

Drum roll please…

🟨 .: Period, period, period, title
🟩 Event with dance: Ball, formal, hop, rave
🟦 Reply to iPhone Messages Tapbacks: Exclamation mark, heart, question mark, thumbs up
🟪 “Pan”: Bad review, camera movement, cookware, satyr

It was my turn today, but I hadn't planned on it.

I saw title and period, but somehow skipped the exclamation mark and question mark, grabbing period and period instead, which brought us to the first icon title of a category that I can remember.

Rave, ball and hop jumped into my mind as dances. I wasn't sure about the formality at first, but it didn't fit with anything else, so it fit into the green category.

I'm one of those “pagan” Android people, so I've never connected to an iPhone. For me it was just emoji responses with exclamation points, hearts, question marks and thumbs up. At least that's how I use them in Slack for this job.

“Pan” is a great purple category. It's clever which purple groupings they should be. All four are variations of the word pan. Loved it.
For this we had bad reviews, camera movement, cookware and satyr.

Are you reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #501, which according to the had a difficulty rating of 3.5 out of 5 Connection companion.

The 500th puzzle was cute and clever. The 501st? A drudgery.

I immediately saw the “Purple” category with “Adieu,” “Belle,” and “Temps,” but for the life of me I couldn’t remember any other French words that had any connection. So we moved on.

The first completed grouping was yellow because we put together the plan, program and schedule before finding the bill.

The plane and crane gave us the idea of folding blue. Fan was very simple and it took him a moment to remember the fortune teller. Are children still fortune tellers? I hope so.

I also saw the newspaper notice and immediately had news, cooking and games, but was wary of audio up until that point. I don’t think “audio” is a wrong word in French, but “pain” is.

I was fully aware that “pain” is the French word for “bread,” which is annoying because it’s similar to the Spanish word “pan,” which I’m currently teaching myself.

Anyway, the French words were “Adieu,” “belle,” “pain,” and “temps” (which means “weather,” although I think it has other meanings as well).

Today there was a puzzle that I always felt like the correct answer wasn't. That's how it works.
