Hints for Connections #701
Try the hints in order, stopping when you have enough to solve a group:
- Where you might see a $20.
- Could describe a ball.
- Certain KPIs.
- Related to a body part.
These graduated clues come from Parade’s May 12 guide. TechRadar phrased the themes as “Cash holders,” “Coming back again,” “Users is another,” and “Kiss chase!” Its writer described the money category as a red herring, but that is personal commentary rather than a measured difficulty rating.

| Blue | Things tracked by web analytics | CLICK, HIT, PAGE VIEW, VISIT |
| Purple | Things you can do with your lips | CURL, PUCKER, PURSE, SMACK |
The money group is the likely trap: BANK and PURSE sound money-related, but they belong to the rebound and lips groups, respectively. The intended places to find paper money are ATM, CASH REGISTER, TIP JAR, and WALLET.
