Hints forMarch 5, 2025
Tackling the March 5th Connections puzzle? Today’s grid provides a medium-level challenge that should take most players around 5-7 minutes to solve. With clear thematic groupings like emotional triggers and recreational sports, it also includes some overlapping categories that might trip you up (watch out for versatile verbs!). Strategic pairing and thinking outside the box will serve you well. Here’s your set of hints, organized from easiest to more challenging:
- Think about the outskirts—the edges of something, where the world feels liminal.
- Consider how hands transform keratin into art or maintenance.
- Tears aren’t just for sadness; they might stem from surprising sources.
- Recreational fun often ends with “ball”—dodge it, kick it, or pickle it.
