Connections Unlimited is a word association game that challenges players to group 16 words into four categories based on a common thread. Launched after the success of Wordle, it’s now the second-most popular game from The New York Times, captivating players with its clever wordplay and brain-teasing puzzles. Each group is color-coded by difficulty—yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (hardest)—and you have only four mistakes before the game ends.
If you’re ready to see the solutions or just want to confirm your guesses, here are the answers for Connections puzzle #785, dated August 4, 2025. Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Yellow Group (Easiest): Words meaning agreement or affirmation
Yes, Sure, Okay, Agreed
Green Group (Medium): Kitchen appliances
Oven, Stove, Fridge, Mixer
Blue Group (Medium-Hard): Terms related to soccer
Goal, Pitch, Striker, Midfield
Purple Group (Hardest): Words ending in a “-tion” sound
Motion, Notion, Potion, Lotion
These categories test a mix of straightforward associations (yellow and green) and more nuanced connections (blue and purple). The purple group, in particular, is tricky due to its focus on pronunciation rather than meaning, a common tactic in Connections to challenge even seasoned players.
