Today's Connections answer — hints to help you solve it (Image credit: New York Times) Unlike our guide to today's Wordle answer, where we recommend the best Wordle start words as your strategy, solving Connections relies on identifying connecting categories among 16 words.

Once you've made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful. Today's Connections words are: Babe, Psyche, Draw, Neo, Mnemonic, Bolt, Knee, Wick, Ted, Hyper, Pull, Gnome, Kilo, Dumbo, Meta, and Suck. Sign up to get the BEST of Tom's Guide direct to your inbox.

If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty: 🟨 Yellow: Absorb using capillary action 🟩 Green: Greek prefixes 🟦 Blue: Titular talking animals of film 🟪 Purple: Starting with silent letters These hints should get you at least some of the way towards finding today's Connections answers. If not, then you can read on for bigger clues; or, if you just want to know the answer, then scroll down further. Here's a larger hint: ...it ain't Keanu. Today's Connections answers So, what are today's Connections answers for game #703? Drumroll, please... 🟨 Absorb using capillary action: Draw, pull suck, wick 🟩 Greek prefixes: Hyper, kilo, meta, neo 🟦 Titular talking animals of film: Babe, Bolt, Dumbo, Ted 🟪 Starting with silent letters: Gnome, knee, mnemonic, psyche How are you going to give me four Keanu Reeves characters and then strike me? Boo, I say, Boo. Anyway, don't choose Wick, Neo, Ted and Mnemonic because that category doesn't exist today. Sticking with movies, I did get the blue category with Babe, Bolt, Dumbo and Ted as talking animals of film. I would quibble with Ted since he's a talking toy bear, and not just a talking bear, but that would ruin the Keanu trap. Anyway, from there I saw the quartet of hyper, kilo, meta and neo as prefixes. I assumed this was the green set and didn't click. Instead I went hunting for the purple group. I wasn't seeing the silent letters connection but I did see the yellow group of draw, pull, suck and wick. I didn't immediately see the capillary action part of the group, more I was thinking straws which works since capillary action is related to the movement of water (or other liquids) through narrow spaces. This left gnome, knee, mnemonic and psyche for words with silent letters. Thus I submitted the green group and then the yellow to close it up. Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Places to shop: Bazaar, fair, market, outlet 🟩 Kinds of pizza: Hawaiian, plain, supreme, veggie 🟦 Ending with colors: Evergreen, infrared, marigold, quicksilver 🟪 ____ Cleaner: Bathroom, dry, pipe, vacuum Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #702, which had a difficulty rating of 2.8 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. I started with evergreen, infrared, marigold and quicksilver on a whim mostly because they all ended with colors, but didn't think it would actually go. Sometimes you try one just to see since you have strikes to play with. Followed that up with pizzas; Hawaiian, supreme, veggie and "plain"? Pretty sure that should be cheese, that's a plain pizza. Next up, grabbed purple's bathroom cleaner, dry cleaner, pipe cleaner and vacuum cleaner. And we ended on places to shop, which I had seen earlier but saved because it felt like the earlier yellow group with bazaar, fair, market and outlet.
