Connections answers for December 2, 2025
Here are the sixteen tiles, sorted into their four groups:
| Color | Category | Tiles |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | APPROXIMATE | BALLPARK, BROAD, GENERAL, ROUGH |
| Green | MILD OATHS | FRICK, FUDGE, SHOOT, SUGAR |
| Blue | MLB PLAYER | ANGEL, MET, RAY, ROYAL |
| Purple | FAMILY MEMBER NICKNAME PLUS A LETTER | BROW, DADA, MOMA, SISI |
How the groups connect
Yellow: APPROXIMATE
BALLPARK, BROAD, GENERAL, and ROUGH can each describe an estimate or something inexact. “In the ballpark” means approximately right.
Green: MILD OATHS
FRICK, FUDGE, SHOOT, and SUGAR are softened expressions used instead of stronger profanity.
#1 Best Overall
Blue: MLB PLAYER
ANGEL, MET, RAY, and ROYAL refer to players on the Angels, Mets, Rays, and Royals, respectively.
Purple: FAMILY MEMBER NICKNAME PLUS A LETTER
Each tile adds one letter to a shortened family-member term: BRO + W makes BROW; DAD + A makes DADA; MOM + A makes MOMA; and SIS + I makes SISI. DADA can also suggest the art movement, making it a potential distraction.
