Connections puzzle #563, dated December 25, 2024, sorts 16 words into four groups: celestial objects, archers, female animals, and “S.N.L.” cast members. Hints come first below; the full answer key follows.
Hints for Connections #563
- One category is CELESTIAL OBJECTS.
- QUEEN and VIXEN belong in the same group.
- Another category is “S.N.L.” CAST MEMBERS.
Several words may evoke Christmas, including RUDOLPH, VIXEN, COMET, and CUPID. But that seasonal association is a decoy: the four words do not form one of the puzzle’s groups.
Connections answers for December 25, 2024
The puzzle’s 16 words are QUEEN, STAR, CUPID, STRONG, RUDOLPH, SAGITTARIUS, NANNY, COMET, VIXEN, MOON, ROBIN HOOD, SHANNON, HAWKEYE, FEY, JENNY, and PLANET.
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| CELESTIAL OBJECTS | COMET, MOON, PLANET, STAR |
| ARCHERS | CUPID, HAWKEYE, ROBIN HOOD, SAGITTARIUS |
| FEMALE ANIMALS | JENNY, NANNY, QUEEN, VIXEN |
| “S.N.L.” CAST MEMBERS | FEY, RUDOLPH, SHANNON, STRONG |
Why the Christmas grouping is misleading
RUDOLPH and VIXEN can bring reindeer to mind, while COMET is also a reindeer name and CUPID can suggest a seasonal motif. The final categories separate those words: RUDOLPH is grouped with “S.N.L.” cast members, VIXEN with female animals, COMET with celestial objects, and CUPID with archers. The reliable check is whether all four words fit a single precise connection, not just a shared holiday association.
