www.connections-hint.ioHere are today’s NYT Connections hints and solutions to help you keep your streak alive.
-
Hints overview: You’re looking for four groups, each with four related words, across a grid of 16 words. Colors typically indicate difficulty, with yellow being the easiest and purple the hardest. Use process-of-elimination to group words that clearly share a common theme, phrase, or category. If you’re stuck, a hint often points to a bordering connection rather than a direct synonym.
-
Quick strategy tips:
- Start with obvious connections like common phrases, shared categories ( foods, tools, places), or words that form familiar collocations.
- Don’t overthink; many groups rely on straightforward links, not clever wordplay.
- If you’re unsure after two guesses, consider stepping back and testing a different pairing to reveal a new crossover.
-
Example solving flow:
- Identify any four words that obviously fit a single category (e.g., four that can all be preceded or followed by the same word).
- Once a group is found, cross off those words and look at the remaining 8-12 words for other four-word groups.
- Repeat until all four groups are formed.
