Connections #1,244 hints and answers for Friday, November 6, 2026
Connections #1,244 hides its hardest group in plain sight: HOT ROD, OSIRIS, TRAFFIC CONE and WOOLENS look like they belong to four different puzzles, until you read only their endings. The rest of the board is honest work - what things are made of, what you call the second one, and the trucks on the highway. Sort the meanings, not the first impressions. For each group below: read the hint first, then show the category name, then the four words, one group at a time.
Group 1 - Yellow
Hint: four words for what something is made of: the document a country is built on, the cloth, the cosmetics sense of the word, and the way the whole thing is put together.

Group 4 - Purple
Hint: read only the endings: a classic car, an Egyptian god, a road marker and a pile of sweaters each finish with a part of the eye - a rod, an iris, a cone and a lens.
