Connections is a word game that was released in June 2023 by The New York Times.

It can be a challenging puzzle that even the most experienced players need help solving on occasion, and that’s why we’re here with the best clues around.

It is edited by Wyna Liu, who told Newsweek in June that one of her tips for playing the game is to remain patient and not “rage solve” by quickly putting in your answers.

How to Play ‘Connections’

Players are given a table of 16 words. These are split into four groups of four based on common characteristics and placed into categories. These vary in difficulty from yellow to green to blue to purple, with yellow considered the easiest category and purple the trickiest.

For example, a recent game linked the words “braid,” “bun,” “pony” and “twist” under the category: “Ways to wear your hair up.” This was a blue category.

Once you have selected four words, you click the “Submit” button. If your choices are correct, they will appear in the category color and disappear from the grid. If they are incorrect, however, they will remain gray and stay on the board.

If you are stuck, try selecting the “Shuffle” button to move the words to a different place on the grid.

Keep scrolling for tips on today’s Connections, but be warned. The answers for the puzzle will be revealed at the bottom of the page. So, if you would rather avoid spoilers, we advise you to move down the page with caution.
