Hey there, everyone! I hope you had an excellent weekend. I sure did, topped off by watching the best team of the tournament winning Euro 2024. Fully deserved (though I will remind everyone here that Scotland beat Spain 2-0 last year).
Todayâs NYT Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
In Connections, youâre presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.
Thereâs only one solution for each puzzle, and youâll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and youâre incorrect, youâll lose a life. If youâre close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that youâre one word away from getting it right, but youâll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, itâs game over. Letâs make sure that doesnât happen with the help of some hints, and, if youâre really struggling, todayâs Connections answers.

My fourth perfect game in a row brings my overall win streak up to eight.
Spotting PINT and LITER on the bottom row made the purples clear enough. BLUFF and SHAM were my entry points into the greens, as were ACCEPT and BELIEVE for the yellows. That left the blues, for which I did figure out the connection (at least terms of them being home hardware materials), for the win.
Thatâs all there is to it for todayâs Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Tuesdayâs game if you need them.
P.S. Has to be this song today given the presence of BELIEVE in today’s words.
