If you've been hooked on the latest word game craze from The New York Times, Connections NYT , you're not alone. This brain-teasing game has captivated players with its challenge of finding the common threads between words. Much like its predecessor Wordle, Connections presents a new set of puzzles daily, each one progressively more intricate. Fear not, though, as we're here to provide some hints and solutions to help you conquer today's challenge.
Connections, the newest addition to The New York Times Games section, has quickly gained popularity on social media. Created in collaboration with associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, this daily word game tasks players with grouping four words that share a common trait.
Each puzzle consists of 16 words, divided into four categories. These categories can encompass a wide range of topics, from book titles to country names. Despite the apparent similarities between multiple words, only one grouping is correct. Make a correct guess, and those words are eliminated; make a mistake, and it counts against you. Players have up to four mistakes before the game ends.
To aid players in spotting connections, the game allows for rearranging and shuffling the board. Additionally, each category is color-coded for difficulty, ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (most challenging). And just like Wordle, you can share your triumphs—or struggles—on social media.
For those eager to tackle today's puzzle without spoiling the categories, here are some clues to help you out:
Yellow: Add-ons for street tacos Green: Units of measurement Blue: Styles of small dresses Purple: Words containing "hill"
If you're ready for a little extra guidance, today's categories are as follows:
Yellow: Taco Toppings Green: Metric Prefixes Blue: Types of Skirts Purple: Words with "Hill"
Now, it's time to unveil the answers to today's puzzle:
Yellow: CILANTRO, LIME, ONION, SALSA Green: KILO, MEGA, MICRO, PICO Blue: MINI, PENCIL, POODLE, WRAP Purple: CAPITOL, FAITH, FOOT, MOLE
Didn't crack it this time? Don't fret; there will be a new challenge awaiting you tomorrow, and we'll be here with more hints to guide you through. And if you missed yesterday's Connections, fret not; the hints and answers are still available for your perusal.
So, keep those mental gears turning and enjoy the journey of unraveling the connections between words in today's NYT Connections puzzle!
