Hints and Answers for Today's Connections Puzzle, Sunday September 20

September 19, 2026 - 20:56

The daily word grouping challenge is back with another set of sixteen terms that need to be sorted into four distinct categories. Some days the puzzle comes together quickly, while other days it can leave even seasoned players staring at the screen. Today's grid falls somewhere in the middle, with a few traps that could send you down the wrong path if you are not careful.

The goal remains the same as always. You get sixteen words and must divide them into four groups of four. Each group shares a common theme, and the difficulty ranges from straightforward to genuinely tricky. The yellow category is usually the easiest entry point, while the purple group tends to rely on wordplay or less obvious connections.

If you are stuck, try reading the words out loud or thinking about alternative meanings. Many players get tripped up by words that seem to fit together but actually belong elsewhere. Look for homophones, hidden words, or phrases that share a prefix or suffix.

Take your time before submitting. A wrong guess costs you a life, and you only get four mistakes before the game ends. Sorting the grid carefully and testing smaller combinations can often reveal the pattern you missed.

Good luck with today's puzzle.
