Hello people! I hope you’ve had a great week so far. Mine was pretty good, but the inclement weather has prevented me from diving in the pool for the past few days. Woe to me.
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.

A perfect game today brought my streak total to 11.
I got blues first thanks to POMP and DAZZLE, while COURT and PLAZA were my way into yellows. The greens looked pretty bright too, which is good because I would never have figured out the purple group. That’s too broad a category considering there are hundreds of emoticons that cover all kinds of things. That’s not a fan.

PS A cute new game came out today called Scheme. You play as a frog manifestation of a shadow or soul that has separated from its human and is trying to reconnect with it. The catch is that you can only move between shadows.
It’s gorgeous and has some playful ideas, but I felt like it overstayed its welcome a bit and was too repetitive. Anyway, it’s mostly a fun game to try for a few hours.
