Hints for Today’s Connections Groups

🟩 Green group hint: Picture a boxing match. These terms are directly tied to how the sport is played and structured.
🟦 Blue group hint: Imagine trying to control a pinball machine or something slightly off balance. These words describe different ways objects can tilt or shift.
🟪 Purple group hint: This one is more abstract. Each word pairs with “free” to form a common phrase used in everyday language.
