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. Read on for today’s Connections hints and answers. Want more game answers? Here’s the Wordle answer for today, and here’s the answer for Strands.

  • Connections puzzle is a brainteaser game
  • Wordle is a vocabulary test
  • Connections puzzle has 4 groupings for the words

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: Whoops!
  • Green group hint: Bloom where you’re planted.
  • Blue group hint: Yellow and black insects.
  • Purple group hint: The Bronx Bombers.

Yellow group: Blunder. Green group: Flowers. Blue group: Things bees do. Purple group: First names of Yankees legends.

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.”
