Today’s Connections Answer (#611 – February 11, 2025)

Let’s dive into a recent instance—the 611th Connections game from January 11th. Here are a few hints to get you started:

• Yellow: “To take something by force.”
• Green: “Shorthand for a guy.”
• Blue: “What you might use to increase your flexibility.”
• Purple: “Also, mushroom.”

Based on these hints, the actual group names for today’s game were:

• Yellow: Wrest
• Green: Buster
• Blue: Yoga Accessories
• Purple: ___ Cap

And here’s how the words were sorted into their respective groups:

Wrest (Yellow)

• Jerk
• Tug
• Wrench
• Yank

Buster (Green)

• Bub
• Bud
• Jack
• Man

Yoga Accessories (Blue)

• Block
• Bolster
• Mat
• Strap

___ Cap (Purple)

• Hub
• Knee
• Mad
• Night

Notice how each group’s theme connects all four words in a unique way. For instance, the Yoga Accessories group clearly hints at items used in a yoga session, while the Wrest group uses words that evoke the idea of force or grabbing—playing on the verb “wrest.”
