Once you’ve made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.
Today’s Connections words are: Bite, Onion, Soft, Kick, Pickle, Skirt, Allergy, Relief, Paint, Dodge, Edge, Clip, Border, File, Melodrama, and Fringe.
If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty:

Today’s Connections answers
So, what are today’s Connections answers for game #633?
Drumroll, please…
- 🟨 Periphery: Border, edge, fringe, skirt
- 🟩 Things people do to fingernails: Bite, clip, file, paint
- 🟦 What might bring tears to your eyes: Allergy, melodrama, onion, relief
- 🟪 ____ Ball recreational sports: Dodge, kick, pickle, soft
I started today’s puzzle looking at skirt, edge and dodge but it wasn’t quite working. Fringe and border did work with edge though so I switched gears to get the yellow group along with skirt.
I took a strike here because I was looking for something with Photoshop or something similar combining clip, paint, file and dodge.
With that strike under my belt, I was looking at kick and thought kickball. The other three purple words arose from the muck pretty quick from there with dodgeball, pickleball and softball.
From there I returned to my strike trio and added bite for fingernails and the green category.
Which left the blue category for last with allergy, melodrama, onion and relief as things that make you cry.

Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #632, which had a difficulty rating of 4.3 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion.
I got through this one by the skin of my teeth.
Dewy and fresh stuck out to me, though I wasn’t thinking about skin. I did grab glowing and smooth since they made sense.
I took unnecessary strikes when I gathered that thatch, mop and tangle were referencing hair. I stubbornly left twist in and wasn’t looking around to see what the other words were doing. A mistake to get so locked in. I figured it out after my strikes to swap in mat over twist, though it took some staring at the board to get there.
I ended up taking purple down next mostly because food chain clicked in my mind. Daisy and supply came after that. Strike three hit here here as I put bucket instead of mountain. I admit a strange mistake when I was actively thinking bucket brigade, which is obviously not a chain.
Early on in the round I was considering Dickens with Scrooge and Twist but couldn’t find other characters. I’ve never read Great Expectations so had no idea about Pip, though apparently it’s one of the few novels by Dickens narrated in first person. As for Inspector Bucket, as soon as the category went blue, I recalled that he was from Bleak House, a novel I read in college for some English class either about 1800s literature or serials, probably both. I remember disliking that one, and haven’t read it since. I need to get my literature skills back up.
