Connections is often measured in chaos when it comes to the daily puzzle, but ironically enough, organization is one of today’s themes. Whether it’s a comprised list of your financial spending or a sharp visual style of your hair, there are multiple approaches to this idea in almost every category. However, one stands out as the opposite of this concept, creating a contrast that can be confusing without clues.
You only have four chances to make a mistake before losing a game of Connections, limiting your options as you play. The best advice for any day of Connections is to take your time to understand many possible contexts one phrase could mean besides what seems obvious. Similar to the Letter Boxed NYT puzzles, you have to find patterns to correctly discover the right path.
Today’s Connections Category Hints
August 10 #1157
Two out of the four categories today are built around receiving organized information about something else. Another one focuses on carefree ideas, while another represents a level of visual professionalism or stylization that doesn’t really mix with other categories. This makes part of the puzzle easy to narrow down, but the rest has very similar phrases, making it easy to get tripped up.
If you want to know some hints regarding today’s puzzle categories, check out these clues below:
- One category is about terms used to describe going about tasks without much thought or care.
- One category is about methods in which people gain proof they have purchased access to something they will go to.
- One category is about parts of a financial charge sent to someone who has to pay for something.
- One category is about characters who share the same facial hairstyle.
If you want to go all out with some of your clue-searching, you should look at the category names to get some extra help. There are also spoilers for each category if you find yourself needing to solve a single category to finish up.

ANY OLD HOW |
AT RANDOM |
HELTER-SKELTER |
WILLY NILLY |
This category stood out to me today, mainly for how HELTER-SKELTER and WILLY NILLY are similar words used to describe chaotic choices. While AT RANDOM can be mistaken for being with other words like BILL TO or WILL CALL, it has a close association to this category’s ideas. With that in mind, ANY OLD HOW is an obvious choice to complete this section’s comparisons.

PRINT-AT-HOME |
WILL CALL |
WILL CALL is a term that can easily be mistaken to go with ORDER NUMBER or BILL TO, as a term meant to categorize how people are charged for something. That being said, putting WILL CALL together with PRINT-AT-HOME still implies communication, regardless of what that conversation is for. When you think about how PRINT-AT-HOME might be for an online purchase, thinking about an event is more natural, leading to MAIL DELIVERY and MOBILE TICKET coming together to complete this section.

BILL TO |
ORDER NUMBER |
UNIT PRICE |
Anyone that has had to pay for rent at a living location can look at today’s Connections and connect the dots between words like UNIT PRICE and BALANCE DUE. Thinking about payments or financial organization in those terms can also reveal BILL TO and ORDER NUMBER, but only if other terms aren’t used first. PRINT-AT-HOME can accidentally be put in this category if you aren’t careful, creating the loss of a valuable mistake stock.

THE DEVIL |
While some people might put THE DEVIL with anything financial, the biblical look of this entity is where your attention should be focused. People who already call COLONEL SANDERS the GOAT might draw a comparison to BILLY GOAT, with both characters having similar facial hair structure. To solve the puzzle of today’s Connections, all you need to do is recognize that DOCTOR STRANGE and THE DEVIL have the same appearance too.
