The blue category in today's Connections puzzle may have you wishing Dry January was over, if you're trying that no-drinking challenge this month. I also enjoyed the purple category, even though it was a bit of a tough one. Read on for today's Connections hints and answers.

And players who are registered with the Times Games section can now nerd out by following their progress, including number of puzzles completed, win rate, number of times they nabbed a perfect score and their win streak.
