Dicas e respostas do NYT Connections de hoje para 12 de agosto, #428 –

Publicado em por

Need the answers for the New York Times Connections puzzle? To me, Wordle is more of a vocabulary test, but Connections is more of a brainteaser. You’re given 16 words and asked to put them into four groups that are somehow connected. Sometimes they’re obvious, but game editor Wyna Liu knows how to trick you by using words that can fit into more than one group.

Here are four hints for the groupings in today’s Connections puzzle, ranked from the easiest, yellow group to the tough (and sometimes bizarre) purple group:

  • Yellow group hint: Like copper or iron.
  • Green group hint: California king.
  • Blue group hint: It’s in your bathroom.
  • Purple group hint: Think sharp.

    • Yellow group: Metal elements. Green group: Mattress sizes. Blue group: Slang for toilet. Purple group: Kinds of knives.

    NYT Connections completed puzzle for Aug. 12, 2024. The theme is metal elements. The four answers are gold, lead, mercury and tin. The theme is mattress sizes. The four answers are full, king, queen and twin. The theme is slang for toilet. The four answers are can, head, john and throne. The theme is kinds of knives. The four answers are bowie, butcher, butter and butterfly.

    Playing is easy. Winning is hard. Look at the 16 words and mentally assign them to related groups of four. Click on the four words you think go together. The groups are coded by color, though you don’t know what goes where until you see the answers. The yellow group is the easiest, then green, then blue, and purple is the toughest. Look at the words carefully and think about related terms. Sometimes the connection has to do with just a part of the word. Once, four words were grouped because each started with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
