Today's Connections Hints & Answers For February 11, 2025 (Puzzle #611)

If you feel like you might be going mad in today’s Connections puzzle, you may need some hints and tricks to get the right answers and maintain some of your sanity. This puzzle felt like a nicer balance between challenge and simplicity. Typically, the more straightforward and connected the categories feel, the easier the puzzle at least for me. When the words feel like they could overlap in every way to Sunday, the puzzles feel much more difficult. Today’s puzzle feels like it’s in the space between, and you can use that information to solve the puzzle faster.
If you are looking for a game that is even more complicated than Connections, The Password Game is a long puzzle that will let you get you share of gaming in every day. You will be solving at least 15 puzzles, and piecing each one together is another puzzle in and of itself. Once you figure it out, you can make an airtight password that no one else will ever be able to guess. The rules you can get will make the game feel truly chaotic, but in the best way possible for those that like a good logic puzzle.

If you are looking for some good hints, you are in the right place to get the wrench out of the center of the puzzle, in this case literally and figuratively. There are a lot of potential issues here, but depending on what you know about certain subjects, you may not find it very difficult. I had one category that I felt was a wrong guess that ended up being right, so sometimes it is well worth it.
- One category is about a specific movement that a person might make if something is stuck
- One category is about a name that someone might use in conversation
- One category is about four things you will need for a specific activity
- One category is about four words that come before a different word in a phrase - that word is a limit

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

JERK |
TUG |
WRENCH |
YANK |
This category was the first one I got and the one that felt a little iffy, if I’m honest. There are other words that feel like they might belong here - JACK, KNEE, maybe some of the yoga accessories later. It was an interesting dilemma as I attempted to pull - or YANK - the right words out. However, despite the possibilities I was able to put it together without wasting a guess. This is just a case of you need to be careful instead of making a guess super quickly, as there are words to tread around that could make you fail.
Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

I saw this one first before the previous category, but I wasn’t sure what the last word would be. I didn’t like the idea of JACK being in this category as I thought there were a lot of other places it could potentially go. However, when I came back, it felt clear that it had to go here. HUB was the potential substitute here, and it just didn’t work in the way that the rest of them did. Then I was able to move on and try to decipher the rest of the puzzle.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

BLOCK |
BOLSTER |
MAT |
STRAP |
Yoga is not my forte, and I got this category on a weird instinct that had no reason to actually exist. I thought it was words that had to do with “strapping something up” and I didn’t have many options. The best I could come up with was BLOCK, BOLSTER, STRAP, and KNEE. When I saw “One Away,” I was both surprised and confused. Confused because by that time I thought I was on the wrong track, and surprised because it was nice to see I wasn’t.
Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

HUB |
KNEE |
MAD |
NIGHT |
This would also be a hard one to get early, as it is hard to connect the dots here. NIGHT cap is going to be a popular thing to say as much anymore. HUB cap is a little bit of a specific category of knowledge to know. KNEE cap would probably be the easiest one to get, and it is a very weird bone in the human body. MAD cap is also an older thing that not as many would use anymore.
