Need a little nudge with today's Connections game? Newsweek has your back with some helpful hints. The popular puzzle was launched by The New York Times in June 2023 and has gone on to become the newspaper's second-most-played game after Wordle , another fun and challenging word-based offering. Newsweek's clues and answers for #613 are listed below, so keep scrolling if you're in need of some assistance.
How To Play 'Connections' To get started, players are given a grid with 16 words they must separate into categories based on a shared topic. Each of the four categories is labeled with a color, which represents the difficulty level. While yellow is the easiest category and purple is the hardest, green and blue are medium difficulty. For example, in Wednesday's puzzle, the words 'certificate,' 'deed,' 'receipt' and 'title' were associated with the yellow category, 'Documents of ownership.' Wednesday's purple category, meanwhile, was a tricky one titled, 'Starting with 'shake, rattle and roll'' and included the words 'android,' 'rattlesnake,' 'rollerblade' and 'Shakespeare.'Wyna Liu, a puzzle editor at the NYT who creates the Connections puzzles, told Newsweek last year that she often 'clusters' words together, which can trick people into thinking they don't belong together. 'The game has evolved with the solvers, and responds to solvers' experience and expectations,' she said, noting that 'each board has to be made from scratch.' As for her best piece of advice? Liu advised users against 'rage solving' and said: 'Wait as long as you can before guessing. You may see the board and have completely identified the category, seeing five words that could belong in that category.''Connections' #613 Hints and Clues for Thursday, February 13 Below are Newsweek's tips to help you with Thursday's game: Yellow: An outline for producing something Green: Showing gratitude Blue: Terms indicating likelihood Purple: Words before 'Trip' 'Connections' #613 Answers for Thursday, February 13 Yellow Category: TEMPLATE Yellow Words: Blueprint, Guide, Model, Mold Green Category: DEMONSTRATION, AS OF APPRECIATION Green Words: Expression, Gesture, Symbol, Token Blue Category: MODAL VERBS Blue Words: Can, Might, Must, Will Purple Category: ___ TRIP Purple Words: Ego, Guilt, Head, Power Did you manage to solve Thursday's puzzle correctly?
