The aim of Connections is to group the 16 words of the day into four groups, where each group of four words has a common theme. For instance, the words "Hook", "Nana", "Peter", and "Wendy" are all Peter Pan characters.
Or to take another example, "Action", "Ballpark", "Go", and "Stick" are all words which commonly come just before the word "Figure".

What is today's Connections answer? Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Monday, 28th April: Yellow: Hair Products (Gel, Mousse, Spray, Wax) Green: Austere (Bare, Plain, Simple, Spare) Blue: Clues At A Crime Scene (Fiber, Fingerprint, Hair, Tire Mark) Purple: Weary (Bore, Drain, Exhaust, Tire) I really thought I was onto something when I spotted the homophones in today's puzzle. I've often struggled to find the (usually purple) homophone theme in past Connections puzzles, so you can imagine my initial excitement and eventual disappointment when I discovered the homophones spare (spear), hair (hare), bore (boar), bare (bear), and plain (plane) today. Of course, that adds up to five homophones, so I was looking for another thing they might have in common.
As hair, bare, and bore are animal homophones, I decided to add 'mousse' as the fourth group member. Although mousse isn't pronounced exactly the same as moose I was convinced it was correct..
. But no. Turns out today's Connections is actually much easier than I thought, and it would've been a breeze if it wasn't for the false homophone connection.
Well...
at least I solved it in the end! Congratulations if you got today's Connections answer right, with or without the help of our handy hints above!
