If you're a fan of brain-teasing word games, then the latest sensation from The New York Times, Connections NYT , is likely on your radar. This captivating game, akin to the beloved Wordle, challenges players to uncover the commonalities between a set of words. With each passing day, the puzzles become more intricate, prompting players to sharpen their wit and logic. To aid you in your quest for victory, we've compiled some hints and solutions for April 30's conundrum.
Connections, the brainchild of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, has quickly gained traction across social media platforms. Available for both web browsers and mobile devices, this daily word game tasks participants with grouping four words that share a common trait.
Each puzzle presents 16 words divided into four categories. These categories can encompass a wide array of subjects, ranging from book titles to country names. Despite the temptation of multiple plausible connections, only one combination is correct. Successfully identifying all four related words removes them from the board, while incorrect guesses accrue as mistakes—players have a maximum of four errors before the game concludes.
In the pursuit of victory, players can manipulate the board by rearranging and shuffling words to facilitate the discovery of connections. Furthermore, each group is color-coded based on difficulty level, with yellow denoting the easiest and purple signifying the most challenging. Similar to Wordle, players can share their triumphs on social media platforms.
If you're seeking guidance without outright solutions, consider these hints for each category:
Yellow: Structural beams

Blue: A given amount
Purple: Confidential documents
