What do you think of today’s NYT Connections puzzle?
Today’s Connections puzzle presented a clever blend of categories that kept me guessing. The Green category was the first to fall, clearly pointing to a geographical theme right off the bat. Yellow was also straightforward, grouping together a set of strong verbs. The Blue category required a bit of specific knowledge, grounding the puzzle in the world of sports. As always, the Purple category held the greatest trick, and the abstract nature of the words made the final connection a brilliant and hard-earned discovery. It was a well-constructed and enjoyable solve, earning a solid four-star rating. I’d rate it a solid 4 out of 5.

How to Play NYT Connections
Playing NYT Connections is pretty straightforward, as you need to group four similar words in a single group. However, the difficulty increases, with the yellow category being the easiest and purple being the hardest. The green category refers to moderate difficulty, while blue is complex, being one notch above.
There are 16 words in each puzzle, and there is a theme for each group, although the puzzle doesn’t reveal it. You only get four chances to correctly guess every group’s meaning; you can have four incorrect guesses, so use them wisely. If the answer is correct, you can move on to the next group otherwise, you are stuck with the same one.
Moreover, just like Wordle, Connections refreshes every 24 hours, so you will need to wait till the next day for a fresh one. Also, if you guess incorrectly, there’s no way to play the game again, and it will simply reveal the correct results.
While playing the game itself does not require an NYT connection, you will need to create one if you wish to track your progress. You can also share your results by copying them to the clipboard and pasting them wherever you want.
