I need answers for New York Times Connections puzzle? For me, Wordle it’s more of a vocabulary test, but CONNECTIONS it’s more of a brain game. You are 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 multiple groups. Read on for today’s Connections tips and answers.

There is also news in the world of Connections. The Times now has a connection botlike the one he has for some time for Wordle. Go there after you play to get a numerical score and have the program analyze your answers. And players who are registered in the Times Games section they can now reveal by tracking their progressincluding the number of puzzles completed, their win rate, the number of times they got a perfect score, and their number of wins.

How to play Connections

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