Connections, the popular daily word game from the New York Times, challenges players to find the “common threads” between words. Following in the footsteps of Wordle, the game resets daily at midnight, presenting a new and often more complex puzzle.
For those seeking assistance, we’ve compiled strategies, hints, and the final solution for today’s game.
How to Play Connections
Created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, Connections presents players with a grid of 16 words. The objective is to organize these words into four distinct groups of four, with each group sharing a common category. These categories can range from simple concepts to more abstract or tricky themes.
While many words may appear to fit into multiple potential groups, there is only one correct combination. Players submit their guesses one group at a time. A correct guess will remove the four words from the board and reveal the category’s theme. An incorrect guess counts as a mistake, and players are allowed only four mistakes before the game ends.
To aid in solving, players can rearrange the words on the board. Each category is also color-coded by difficulty: yellow is the most straightforward, followed by green, blue, and finally purple, the most difficult.
Hints for Today’s Categories
If you need some help identifying today’s themes, here are the four categories:
- Yellow: Shades of Blue
- Green: Adjectives for a Sports Car
- Blue: Words Before “Roger/s”
- Purple: Disney Animated Characters Plus a Letter
