Today’s Connections Hints & Answers For March 15, 2024 (Puzzle #277)

Every day brings a new Connections puzzle to solve and the March 15 one could feel a bit on the easier side as many of the topics are more broad. There is always a possibility you could get stuck on a connection that just isn’t connecting and end up quickly running out of attempts. Luckily, even if you fail in a day, the answers are revealed and you can prep yourself for the next one.

One-a-day games like Connections, or the popular Wordle, have infested our lives in the past few years. It seems everyone has a couple of go-to short games they like to play in the morning, or during a mid-day break. The range of difficulties and topics is ideal for almost anyone to join in. If you prefer difficult games, Quordle might be your cup of tea. If you like a more casual experience you could always spend ten minutes crafting Taylor Swift in Infinite Craft, (yes that is a real thing.) No matter the skill level, there is something available for you.

Today’s Connections Answers

March 15 #277

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

CRITICIZE
BLAST	KNOCK	SLAM	TRASH

Our second win for today was the yellow category. BLAST and SLAM were the leads in this particular storm and after clearing out the green category it was easy to grab the missing two and score this win.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

“MY MISTAKE!”
APOLOGIES	PARDON	SORRY	OOPS

We scored the green category today first, but not without wasting a few attempts. DOH from the purple category really mucked up our game as we insisted it went along with SORRY and OOPS. After a few misses, we dropped DOH and hit the win with PARDON and APOLOGIES. Looking back it’s obvious now, but you know what they say, hindsight is handing two birds to a bush.

ALIBI
DEFENSE	EXCUSE	OUT	REASON

Our third score for today’s Connections game, and even though they didn’t stand out right away it was easy to identify the category here when only this and the purple words were left. DEFENSE and EXCUSE are the obvious beginning words and the others popped into the win nicely.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

PLAY ___
DATE	DEAD	DOH	DIRTY

Our absolute favorite Connections categories are fill-in-the-blanks, and we’re sad we didn’t actually score this one on our own. But that is the best part of the game, you only need to win three of the four to score an overall win. For us, it took way too long to figure out Play-Doh, not because we’d never heard of the fun-colored putty, but because we couldn’t get Homer Simpson out of our heads.
