How to use these hints
Connections asks you to sort 16 words into four groups of four. You can submit four words at a time and shuffle the board; an incorrect guess costs a life, and four mistakes end the game. A guess that is close may be marked as one word away. The colors generally progress from easier yellow to harder purple, with green and blue in the middle, though difficulty depends on the player.
Yellow hint
Think of different ways to share gossip.
Green hint
Look for items you might see on a Mac keyboard.
Blue hint
These words can be shortened to names for rock subgenres. Consider acts at Download, Lollapalooza, or Warped Tour.
