Today’s Connections answer — hints to help you solve it
Unlike our guide to today’s Wordle answer, where we recommend the best Wordle start words as your strategy, solving Connections relies on identifying connecting categories among 16 words. Each category’s difficulty level is represented by a color; yellow is the easiest grouping, and purple is the most challenging. Once you’ve made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.
Today’s Connections words are: Win, Shoe, Shake, West, Vibrate, Lose, Ham, Draw, Heart, Airplane, Tungsten, Dodge, Do not disturb, Watt, Escape, and Ring
If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty:
- 🟨 Yellow: Cellphone modes
- 🟩 Green: Evade
- 🟦 Blue: Broadway musicals, familiarly
- 🟪 Purple: Words before “Cowboy” in film and music

Today’s Connections answers
So, what are today’s Connections answers for game #630?
Drumroll, please…
- 🟨 Cellphone modes: Airplane, Do Not Disturb, Ring, Vibrate
- 🟩 Evade: Dodge, Escape, Lose, Shake
- 🟦 What ‘W’ might stand for: Tungsten, Watt, West, Win
- 🟪 ____ String: Draw, Ham, Heart, Shoe
Despite being ranked easier, today’s puzzle was no slouch. I picked up the green category first with Dodge, Escape, Lose and Shake.
At first, I thought Do Not Disturb referred to the sign you place on hotel doors, so I floundered for a bit trying to make that connection. Once I saw Ring, Vibrate, and Airplane, though, it finally clicked that I’d been a little too literal in my thinking, and that sealed the rest of the yellow category.
I don’t usually solve the connections where a word or letter is missing, so I was surprised to get purple today with Draw, Ham, Heart, and Shoe.
That left the blue category as today’s rote fill with Tungsten, Watt, West, and Win.
Yesterday’s Connections answers
- 🟨 Associated with good luck: Horseshoe, ladybug, penny, shamrock
- 🟩 To-Bo- compound words: Tollbooth, tomboy, toolbox, towboat
- 🟦 Broadway musicals, familiarly: Fiddler, merrily, phantom, sunset
- 🟪 Words before “Cowboy” in film and music: Drugstore, midnight, rhinestone, space
Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #628, which had a difficulty rating of 3.8 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion.
Forgetting that yesterday’s puzzle had a higher difficulty rating, I actually went into my first quartet thinking I was hitting the blue with lucky things; horseshoe, penny, shamrock, and ladybug. Twas yellow.
I made up for it by snagging purple as I saw drugstore and thought cowboy. Midnight cowboy and rhinestone cowboy followed soon after. For some reason I wasn’t seeing the word space so that took a moment to find.
Fiddler and Sunset leapt out to me as parts of musicals for the true blue category. Phantom (of the Opera) was an easy find from there. I wouldn’t describe myself as a musicals fan so was not familiar with Merrily which I think refers to Merrily We Roll Along, a musical that originated in 1981 by George Furth and Stephen Sondheim.
Looking it up, Merrily may be familiar thanks to its recent Broadway revival that starred Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez and received several Tony awards. It got Groff his first Tony win, something I was surprised to learn hadn’t already happened.
Oh yes, and we wrapped up with green and the baffling to-bo- compound words. Tollbooth, tomboy, toolbox, towboat, which admittedly felt way too obvious once I initially saw it.
