Happy Thursday, folks! It’s a big day on both sides of the Atlantic as the US celebrates Independence Day and the UK goes to the polls for the general election. Of course, the latter won’t go down in everyone’s favor, but it looks like 10 Downing Street will be the new resident this weekend.
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.

My first perfect game in a long time helped push my streak to three.
CACHE gave me an entry point into the greens and ATTRACTION did the same for the yellows. I felt the blues was a bit straight forward as well. That left the purples to win (for which I didn’t figure out the connection, but I should have).
