What is NYT Connections?

I should probably give you some background information before diving into today’s NYT Connections clues and hints.

NYT Connections launched in June 2023 as the newest game from the New York Times, and it quickly became popular. It’s easy to understand why – the game is free to play and available to anyone around the world, whether they’re using a computer or the mobile app.

NYT Connections is a great way to pass the time, whether you’re on your commute or waiting for a drink.

But how do you play NYT Connections?

It’s relatively simple, and that’s why it’s the best New York Times game, in my opinion.

Each day, the New York Times will give you 16 words arranged in a grid. Your job is to group them into four sets of four, based on what they have in common. There’s only one correct solution to each puzzle, and because some words can have multiple meanings, it can be challenging to solve.

The words are also color-coded to show how challenging they are: yellow is the easiest, followed by blue, then green, and finally purple, which is the most difficult.

It’s important to remember you only get four tries each day with NYT Connections. Use them all up, and you won’t be able to solve today’s puzzle – that’s when the game ends.
