Connections #1,237 hints and answers for Friday, October 30, 2026
Connections #1,237 runs from the camera bag to the fruit bowl: the parts of a camera, the edges of a theater stage, four phrases that all start with the same verb, and a purple group hiding four fruits behind one changed letter each. Watch the decoys, too - a flash can be a burst of light in the sky and wings belong on a bird, but both are here for the camera and the stage. For each group below: read the hint first, then show the category name when you want it, then the four words, one group at a time.
Group 1 - Yellow
Hint: think of the parts of the gadget you raise to take a photograph: the burst of light for a dark room, the glass at the front, the part that clicks open and shut, and the little window you look through.

Group 4 - Purple
Hint: change the first letter of a fruit and a new word appears: a lemon with a D becomes a devil, a grape with a D becomes a hanging curtain, a plum with a G becomes a word for sad, and an orange with a G becomes a farmhouse.
