The New York Times published the answers for Connections game number 1248 at midnight. Players can now see the correct groupings for the yellow, green, blue and purple themes. The yellow category lists HUBBUB as the answer to clues about loud fusses. Green groups include literary devices like hyperbole and oxymoron. Blue identifies old occupations such as apothecary and scrivener. Purple contains words with five of one vowel letter.

Hints guide difficult word tiles

TechRadar provided specific hints before revealing the final answers for the puzzle. The yellow group represents a loud fuss while green covers wordsmithery terms.

Puzzle rated as hard difficulty

The reporter gave the puzzle a hard rating after making three mistakes during play. Crossovers between tiles caused frustration when selecting words like beekeeper for the wrong group. The yellow answer HUBBUB confused players who included hyperbole instead of brouhaha. Old-timey occupations took three guesses to solve correctly according to the writer.
