NYT Connections: hints and answers for Wednesday, June 19

Welcome to Connections, the latest brain-teaser from the New York Times! Your mission: categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by discovering the hidden links between them. Each night at midnight, a fresh puzzle awaits with varying levels of difficulty. Like Wordle, you can track your winning streak and compare scores with friends. Let’s dive in!

How to Play NYT Connections

In Connections, you’ll see a grid of 16 words. Your task is to organize these words into four groups of four, each connected by a common theme. These themes could be anything from video game franchises to shades of red or chain restaurant names. Only one solution is 100% correct. Shuffle and rearrange the words to help spot the connections.

Each group is color-coded: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (most challenging).

  1. Pick four words and hit Submit.
  2. Correct guesses remove the words and reveal the theme.
  3. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes. You get four mistakes before the game ends.
