Hint for Today’s Connections Answer
Instead of jumping straight to the answer, let’s start with some hints for today’s Connections puzzle:
Yellow – It has been uttered.
Green – Another name for oneself.
Blue – It’s evident.
Purple – Words that go well with House.
Told belongs in the Yellow group, Moniker in Green, and Clear in Blue.

Connection words for 13th August
Here are the words included in today’s Connections puzzle – see if the clues above help you form a connection before we visit today’s answer:
| Marked | Said | Spoke | Wheel |
| Clear | Handle | Porter | Pronounced |
| Designation | Rough | Striking | Moniker |
| Told | Sobriquet | Power | Voiced |
Without further ado, here’s the Connections answer for today:
Stated – Said, Spoke, Told, Voiced.
Nickname – Designation, Handle, Moniker, Sobriquet.
Obvious – Clear, Marked, Pronounced, Striking.
___House (That Aren’t Houses) – Porter, Power, Rough, Wheel.
Putting Said, Spoke, Told, and Voiced together was an obvious decision to make. Unfortunately, the other groups weren’t as easy as this one to find. The second group I could manage to put together was the Blue one. Sorting the remaining words was the problem, forcing me to waste all my tries. Let’s hope for a luckier day tomorrow.

What is Connections by The New York Times?
NYT Connections is pretty similar to a game you might have played as a child called Categories. However, instead of having a certain starting letter (like in categories), you start with 16 words on your grid. Each group has four words that share a common thread. You have to place these words into one of the four categories or groups without making four mistakes.
You make a mistake when you group the wrong words in a category. Every time you guess a correct group NYT Connections will tell you which color group you guessed correctly.

What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
- Yellow group — metal elements (GOLD, LEAD, MERCURY, TIN)
- Green group — mattress sizes (FULL, KING, QUEEN, TWIN)
- Blue group — slang for toilet (CAN, HEAD, JOHN, THRONE)
- Purple group — kinds of knives (BOWIE, BUTCHER, BUTTER, BUTTERFLY)
My streak is now up to 22 wins after back-to-back perfect games.
BOWIE, MERCURY, and JOHN was a pretty obvious red herring since there wasn’t any word that would make sense with those singers. LEAD and MERCURY, however, made the yellows pretty clear to me. QUEEN and TWIN then made the greens evident.
I had a sense of what the last two groups were, but it took a minute to figure out the blues. BUTTER, somehow, was the kind of knife I was overlooking. I figured out the blues before submitting that group too.

P.S. I of course had to include a song from Freddie Mercury, Elton John, or David Bowie today, so let’s go with one of my favorites from the latter:
