Each category is color-coded by difficulty, with yellow indicating the simplest group and purple the most complex. After four incorrect guesses, the answers will be revealed, making hints useful.

If you are seeking assistance with the groupings, here are the themes, listed by difficulty:

  • ???? Blue: Furniture
  • ???? Purple: Words with apostrophes removed

These hints should propel you toward today’s Connections answers. If you still need more help, feel free to read on for further clues; or if you’re eager to get straight to the answer, scroll down.

Today’s Connections Answers

What are the answers for today’s Connections puzzle #512?

  • ???? Equip: Furnish, outfit, provision, stock
  • ???? Individuality: Being, character, ego, self
  • ???? Furniture: Chest, console, vanity, wardrobe
  • ???? Words with apostrophes removed: Cant, id, shell, were

As I sought legal terminology, Inquiry, Proceeding, and Trial quickly came to light.

I suspected that Touching and Feeling might relate to one another, but that led me down another false trail. In fact, Touching appeared in today’s yellow category alongside other heartfelt descriptors like Moving, Sweet, and Tender. Meanwhile, Feeling was categorized in green along with terms that describe guessing, such as Hunch, Impression, and Sense.

This left purple as today’s straightforward fill. Initially, I thought this category might represent wordplay involving
