Full Connections answers for January 29, 2025
The complete groups are:
- Yellow — OWNED: BORE, HAD, HELD, POSSESSED
- Green — THINGS YOU MIGHT DO IN YOUR SLEEP: DREAM, DROOL, SNORE, TALK
- Blue — MOVIE SERIES WITH 2024 RELEASES: ALIEN, GLADIATOR, VENOM, WICKED
- Purple — ____ HOUSE: FULL, GINGERBREAD, HAUNTED, WHITE
The yellow words can mean to own or possess something. The green words describe things that may happen during sleep. The blue category is about series or franchises with 2024 releases, rather than simply a set of films released that year. The purple words each form a phrase with “house”: full house, gingerbread house, haunted house, and White House.
How to approach a tricky Connections board
Connections gives players 16 words to sort into four groups of four. Since a word can seem to fit more than one possible theme, test whether all four words support the same connection before locking in a group. On this board, “house” phrases and sleep-related activities offer clear starting points; the remaining words fall into ownership synonyms and movie-series names.
