Hey everyone! The weekend is just around the corner, but first we have one more round to go Connection end the first week of the game’s anniversary.
today’s RIVET Connection hints and answers keep coming.
How to play hookup
in Connection, you will see a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by finding the links between them. Groups can be things like horror movie franchises, type of verbs, or rappers.
There is only one solution to each puzzle and you will need to be careful about words that may fall into more than one category. You can mix up the words so you might see connections between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to detect, the blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the hardest to deduce. The purple group often includes puns, so keep that in mind.
Select four words that you think go well together and hit submit. If you guess and are not wrong, you will lose a life. If you’re close to getting the group right, you might get a message saying you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still have to figure out which one to replace.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with a few tips, and if you’re really struggling, today’s Connection answers.

I failed again in my attempt at a perfect game, but my total winning streak is up to 24.
I quickly got the yellow group followed by the blue ones. Then I ran into a little trouble. I had a hunch about the purple connection, but I was a bit off with the REPRESENTATIVE, DEREK JETER, SILVER MEDAL and CARNATION guess.
After that, I managed to correct my terrible mistake (although I could never easily guess Derek Jeter’s jersey number), so I was left with green. I wouldn’t necessarily say the gums are pink, while the chewing gum comes in all kinds of colors, so I wasn’t a big fan of that group.
