There are many tried and true recipes for figuring out the connections between the words on your own inConnections, but that will require a fair amount of patience. Instead, we are here to give you the down-low on the Category names so that you’re able to connect the dots for yourself if you so choose.
SILENT “K”

TALK
TELL
When it’s our time to SPILL the tea every day on theConnectionsgame, we do not often expect to be called out so much. We suppose the puzzle can only DISH on us because we TELL on it. After all, we are here to TALK about the secret answers to the puzzle all day every day.
PART
SPLIT
It is never a good idea to SPLIT, BRANCH, FORK, or PART the party, no matter what the leader of the group says. Always stick together and have a great time doing so as you explore the secrets you want so badly. Although, if it’s a game, sure, split the party and learn the consequences when there are none. Just do not expect the DM to be merciful to a lone player.

TOPKNOT
UNKNOWN
For us, this was today’s hardest grouping of words. At first glance, they do not seem to have anything in common, and even a Google of the word TOPKNOT will not help much until you notice that every word has that pesky “KN” in it, where English has decided we no longer need to pronounce the K. While those K’s did once receive the recognition they deserved, now they are doomed to be present but never pronounced.
SECRET
TICKET
Purple today was one of the easier categories to piece together for us, partially due to recognizing FORMULA and RECIPE shared a very similar meaning. While TICKET does not quite fit in the same category as ostentatiously, we have worked enough customer service jobs to know that a ticket can also be a recipe. SECRET was a little more conspicuous as well, but nothing else shared the same tone and it seemed our guess was quite good.
