Today NYT Connections hints and answers coming soon.
Connections play
In ConnectionsYou are given a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort them into four groups of four by finding the connections between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb, or rappers.
There is only one solution to each puzzle, and you have to be careful with words that fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to see possible connections between the words.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the hardest to figure out. The purple group often involves puns, so keep that in mind.
Select four words that you think go together and press Send. If you take a gamble and it’s wrong, you lose a life. When you’re close to a correct group, you might see a message saying you’re one word away from the correct word, but you still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with some tips, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s information Connections answers.

Sadly, my last streak of six wins in a row is over.
I got the greens straight away but ran into trouble. I thought EBONY, CHESTNUT, ASH, and CHERRY referred to specific hair colors, but I didn’t even get the “one away” thing, so I was clearly on the wrong track.
As it happens, I had no idea about the blues (though I should have inferred them) or the purples. I was on the right track with the yellows, since I made the connection between ADAGE, CHESTNUT, and MAXIM. But I have never heard of SAW in that context in my life. So a few random guesses about that group later, and my last series was over.
That’s all that’s needed for today Connections clues and answers. Make sure to visit my blog for tips and the solution for Monday’s game if you need it.
