Or to take another example, "Action", "Ballpark", "Go", and "Stick" are all words which commonly come just before the word "Figure".

To win the game, you have to find all four Connections without making 4 mistakes.

If not, check below for the full answer. What is today's Connections answer? Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Saturday, 15th March: Yellow: Sharp Protrusion (Barb, Bristle, Needle, Spine) Green: Features Of Stringed Instruments (Bridge, Neck, Peg, String) Blue: Litigation Verbs (Charge, Move, Serve, Sue) Purple: In “Star Light, Star Bright” (May, Might, Tonight, Wish) Except yellow, today's Connections themes weren't at all obvious to me. Purple was quite hopeless even, as I've never heard of the 'Star Light, Star Bright' nursery rhyme - the ones I heard as a kid belong to a different language.
That said, I did think of a 'wishing upon a star' connection when I saw 'wish' and 'tonight', but it wasn't enough to solve the theme. Similarly, I thought of a guitar when I saw 'neck' and 'bridge', but since I don't play a stringed instrument I lacked the knowledge to complete the theme at that point. I had to rule out some more words first, which I did by gathering the green group.
After staring at the word soup for a while, 'serve' and 'sue' formed a clear match, after which it made sense to add 'charge' and ultimately 'move'. With only purple and green left, however, I suspected I was on the right track with the guitar thing and suddenly realised that 'string' had been staring me in the face all this time - three words matched, one to go! I wasn't 100% sure about peg, but it sounded guitar-y enough to give it a try. Luckily, it was a gamble with a happy ending.
