If you love word games, you’ve probably heard of NYT Connections! This popular game from The New York Times is a hit among puzzle fans. It asks players to find groups of words that share a similar theme. Anyone can play, but it takes a sharp mind and good strategy!
Just like Wordle, NYT Connections updates with a new puzzle every day at midnight, and the puzzles get harder as the week goes on. If you’re stuck on today’s puzzle, we’ve got some hints and answers to help you out!
How to Play NYT Connections
In NYT Connections, you start with a grid of 16 words. Your job is to sort these words into four groups, each with four words that have something in common. Some words might fit into more than one group, but there’s only one right way to do it. When you select the correct groups, those words disappear. But watch out! You have only four wrong guesses before the game ends.
The game has four difficulty levels, shown by colors:
– Yellow – Easiest
– Green – A bit tricky
– Blue – More challenging
– Purple – The hardest
You can also shuffle the words around to find connections more easily. After you solve the puzzle, you can share your results on social media, just like with Wordle!
