Full Connections answer key
| Color | Category | Words |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Kinds of jewelry | BANGLE, CHAIN, CHARM, RING |
| Green | Social gathering | EVENT, FUNCTION, PARTY, RECEPTION |
| Blue | Petition (for) | APPEAL, CAMPAIGN, LOBBY, PRESS |
| Purple | “___ Man” songs from the ’70s | IRON, MACHO, PIANO, ROCKET |
Why the purple group fits
The four words complete song titles: “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath, “Macho Man” by Village People, “Piano Man” by Billy Joel, and “Rocket Man” by Elton John. The grouping relies on recognizing the titles, rather than treating the words as descriptions of the same kind of person.
Why the date can differ from a guide’s publication date
Date-specific guides published on December 2 identify this as the Wednesday, December 3 puzzle. Forbes says the daily game goes live at midnight local time, so the date attached to a puzzle can differ from the publication timestamp of a guide about it. Subscribers can access the archive of previous games, according to Forbes’ game guide.
