Introduction
Looking for the most recent NYT Connections puzzle answers? Daily answers and hints are available for The New York Times Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands puzzles.
In Connections, you look at a grid of 16 words and pick four words that have a connection to each other. You do this four times until all 16 words in the puzzle are grouped. The tough part is that Times puzzle editor Wyna Liu chooses words that could fit in multiple groups. The obvious guess — hey! Those are four animals! — is almost always going to be wrong. Useful tips can provide a helpful boost if needed.
The Times has a Connections Bot, like the one for Wordle. Go there after you play to receive a numeric score and to have the program analyze your answers. Players who are registered with the Times Games section can follow their progress, including the number of puzzles completed, win rate, number of times they nabbed a perfect score and their win streak.
Today’s Connections puzzle had two extremely easy categories: the yellow and the blue. Purple is its usual unhinged self. Read on for hints and today’s Connections answers.
