Hi everyone,
I hope your week has been fantastic! After some time away visiting family, I’m back and working on healthier habits—like getting up on time and cutting out apps that drag me down (bye, Twitter!).
Today’s NYT Connections hints and answers are here for you. Let’s jump in!
How to Play NYT Connections
NYT Connections challenges you to arrange 16 words into four groups of four, based on their links. Each puzzle has one solution. Be careful with words that might fit multiple groups. You can shuffle the words to help see the connections.
Game Tips:
- The yellow group is usually the easiest.
- Blue and green groups are moderately challenging.
- The purple group is the trickiest, often involving wordplay.
Playing the Game:
- Select four words you think go together.
- Press Submit. Incorrect guesses will cost you a life.
- If you’re close, you might get a hint that you’re one word away.
- Four mistakes end the game.
Let’s avoid that with today’s hints and answers!

NYT Connections My win streak is now at four! I zipped through today’s game but stumbled initially by including STAPLE with the yellows instead of PEN. Once corrected, I breezed through the remaining groups.
That’s it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Check back on my blog for Friday’s hints and solutions!
