🤔 What is NYT Connections?

Connections is one of the New York Times’ most popular word games, joining the ranks of Wordle, Strands, and Spelling Bee. The goal? Find four groups of words that share a common theme.

Each game features four categories, ranked in difficulty:
🟢 Green – The easiest
🟡 Yellow – A little trickier
🔵 Blue – Tougher
🟣 Purple – The hardest

You can make up to four mistakes before the game ends, so be careful! Watch out for tricky wordplay—homophones, double meanings, and sneaky categories can throw you off.


🏆 Connections Strategy Tips

Start with the obvious group – Green is usually the easiest to spot!
Look for synonyms – Many categories are based on words with similar meanings.
Check for hidden themes – Sometimes words connect in ways you don’t expect (like today’s cake theme!).
Use process of elimination – If you’re stuck, make educated guesses and see what’s left.


Today’s Connections puzzle was a fun mix of pop culture, tech, and tasty treats! If you got it all without mistakes, you’re a word genius! 🧠 If not, no worries—there’s always tomorrow’s puzzle!
