Connections Solved

Connections Solved is a free, browser-based guide to daily word-grouping puzzles in the style of Connections. A typical grid contains sixteen words that form four groups of four. The site helps players go beyond just seeing the answer: it offers spoiler-safe pacing, so visitors can choose a gentle hint first and reveal full answers and explanations only when ready. Each group explanation describes its shared theme and notes tempting alternate connections that can mislead.
Start with today’s puzzle or browse the archive to revisit earlier boards. Hints let you keep working toward a solution, while the full answer reveal is there when you want to check your thinking or move on. The explanations show why the words belong together, call out tricky near-misses, and connect unfamiliar terms to plain-language meanings. This makes the site useful both for puzzle players who want a nudge and for people who want to understand the reasoning after solving.
A dedicated glossary adds pronunciation cues, short definitions, occasional word history, and references to puzzles where featured words appeared. Rather than treating answers as a list of spoilers, the glossary gives context that can help vocabulary stick after the grid is finished. You can look up a word’s meaning alongside the puzzle explanation and explore how it was used in a group.
Beyond the classic daily board, Connections Solved covers related formats, including movie Connections-style groupings, NBA Connections with sixteen players and four shared stories, and an NBA Connections Grid. A games hub helps visitors find the format they meant to play without burying the main daily puzzle guide. The site is free to use in a browser and does not require an app download.
