Connections<\/strong> is the newest puzzle from The New York Times, designed to get you thinking outside the box. The goal? Sort a pool of 16 words into four secret categories by figuring out what links them together. Just like in Wordle<\/em>, you can track your winning streak and challenge your friends to see who\u2019s the best at solving the puzzle.<\/p>\n

If today\u2019s Connections puzzle is proving a bit tricky, don\u2019t worry! We\u2019ve got hints and tips below to help you out. And if you\u2019re still stuck, we\u2019ll reveal today\u2019s answers at the very end.<\/p>\n

How to Play NYT Connections<\/h3>\n

In Connections<\/em>, you start with a grid of 16 words. Your mission is to organize these words into four groups of four by identifying what connects them. These connections could be anything \u2014 like names of chain restaurants, book sequels, video game titles, or even shades of colors.<\/p>\n

However, don\u2019t get too comfortable \u2014 some words might seem like they could fit into multiple categories, but only one arrangement is correct. As you move words around, you can shuffle the grid to see the potential connections better.<\/p>\n

Each category you solve is color-coded for difficulty:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Yellow<\/strong> (easiest)<\/li>\n
  • Green<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Blue<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Purple<\/strong> (trickiest)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Once you think you\u2019ve identified a group, pick four words and hit Submit<\/em>. If correct, they\u2019ll be removed from the grid, and the link between them will be revealed. If you guess wrong, it counts as a mistake, and you can only make four before the game ends.<\/p>\n
