Hints for Connections #732
Connections asks you to sort 16 words into four groups of four. These clues point toward each group without giving away its words:
- Yellow: Two become one

- Blue: Think words that rhyme with weedle and sin
- Purple: Begin with honorifics
Pause here if you want to solve the grid before seeing the answers.
Spoilers: Thursday’s Connections answers
The four groups and their words are:
- Getting Cozy: CUDDLING, HUGGING, SNUGGLING, SPOONING
- Gossiping: BUZZING, DISHING, SPILLING, WHISPERING
- Engaging in an Activity with Pins or Needles: ACUPUNCTURING, BOWLING, SEWING, WRESTLING
- Starting with Titles: DOCTORING, LORDING, MISSING, SIRING
The more deceptive connections are the activity words: bowling and wrestling relate to pins, while sewing and acupuncture involve needles. The last group starts with title-like words: doctor, lord, miss, and sir.
