Hints for the February 29 Connections puzzle
Connections gives players 16 words to sort into four groups of four. Each group shares a theme, and words can seem to fit more than one category. These clues move from broad to revealing; stop whenever you have enough to keep solving.
- Think of four ways to move upward by jumping.
- Look for four containers or places used to keep valuables.
- Find four words that describe a span of time.
- For the final set, reverse each word to reveal an animal.
Answers for February 29, 2024
The four groups reported for this date are listed below. The puzzle number is omitted because dated archives disagree: Parade and Fortnite Insider identify it as #263, while Wordle.today labels it #268.
| Theme | Words |
|---|---|
| Propel into the air | HOP, JUMP, LEAP, SPRING |
| Place to store valuables | CHEST, COFFER, SAFE, VAULT |
| Period | AGE, DAY, ERA, TIME |
| Backwards animals | DRIB, FLOW, REED, TANG |
The last four words read backward spell BIRD, WOLF, DEER, and GNAT. The dated answer pages from Parade, Fortnite Insider, and Wordle.today support the date’s answer set; their puzzle numbering is inconsistent.
