Connections is a highly engaging word game. Sometimes, you can deduce the answers by relying on your own knowledge reserve, logic, and imagination.

Sometimes, you need hints because the game contains a lot of misleading information.

And sometimes, relying solely on hints is not enough—due to the changing difficulty of the game, we provide the hint matching logic and interpretations to help you overcome challenges.
