Connections Study Lists FAQ

What are Connections study lists?

They are small, focused word collections that mirror categories which frequently show up in Connections-style puzzles, such as homophones, palindromes, or words that are valid Roman numerals.

Do these lists tell me today’s Connections answers?

No. Study lists are for pattern recognition and practice. For today’s spoiler-layered hints and full board reveal, use the Connections hints tool instead.

How should I use these lists?

Skim a category you struggle with, then try spotting those patterns in the real Connections game. You can also copy a few of the words into the Connections Canvas to practice grouping them.

Will more categories be added over time?

Yes. As we see new recurring group types in the daily puzzle, we can add more study categories and expand the examples for existing ones.
