Hello everyone, welcome to the weekend! I hope you have an excellent one lined up. I have at least a few hours to go between today’s FA Cup and Scottish Cup finals.
Today NYT Connections hints and answers emerge immediately.
Play connections
In Connections, you will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your job is to divide them into four groups of four by discovering the connections between them. The groups can be things like horror movie franchises, some kind of verb, or rappers.
There is only one solution to each puzzle, and you have to be careful when it comes to words that fit into more than one category. You can play the words in any order so you might see the connections between them.
Each group has a color code. 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 make a guess and you’re wrong, you lose a life. When you’re close to the right group, you might see a message saying that you’re one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen with some tips and, if you’re really struggling, today’s information Connections answers.

I had little trouble with this. I got the blue colors first, then the yellow and green colors. However, I didn’t detect the purple connection. It was a bit annoying, but I’ve seen much fainter purple groups, so I’m not mad about it.
