Connections NYT Answers - See hints and answers for August 7!

Connections is the latest word game from the New York Times, challenging players to uncover the common threads between sets of words. Like Wordle, it resets daily and becomes progressively more difficult. If you’re struggling with today’s puzzle, we’ve got hints and strategies to help you out.

What is Connections?

Connections is a daily word puzzle that has gained popularity for its engaging gameplay. Developed by Wyna Liu, the game is available on both web browsers and mobile devices. The objective is to group 16 words into four distinct categories, each containing four related words. Categories can include anything from book titles to software names. Players can make up to four mistakes before the game ends. If you correctly identify all words in a set, those words are removed from the board. The board can be shuffled and rearranged to help find connections. Each group is color-coded by difficulty, and results can be shared on social media, much like Wordle.
