Hints
Today’s Connections puzzle has a fun, very specific vibe: one category is all about music player controls, and another leans into the world of cocktail-making. Even better, one group is about a word that can mean more than one thing depending on context—very “puzzle-y.”
To get you moving, here are clues for each set, starting with the easiest.
Yellow (easiest): Think of the buttons you press when you want your music to behave.
Green: A word-clue that sounds like destiny—like you were always meant to arrive at this moment.
Blue: A cocktail verb set tied to making a mojito—those actions you do with mint and a glass.
Purple (trickiest): Not the weather season itself; rather, “spring” as it shows up in everyday language.
Answers
Yellow group (Music player buttons): play, repeat, shuffle, skip
Green group (Destined): bound, certain, fated, sure
Blue group (Verbs in making a mojito): garnish, muddle, pour, stir
Purple group (“spring” might refer to): coil, fountain, leap, season
If you’re stuck, a good strategy is to lock onto the category “shape.” Music controls usually come in obvious pairs (like actions you choose), cocktail verbs often share physical motions, and the “spring” category rewards thinking about multiple meanings rather than weather.
