Today's NYT Connections Answers & Hints
Connections asks you to sort 16 words into four groups of four. This answer page follows the official color rhythm players expect: yellow is usually the most direct group, green adds a little more distance, blue often asks for broader knowledge, and purple is where wordplay or a less obvious relationship commonly appears.
Start with hints
Each SEE HINT control shows a generated clue based on the group pattern, without printing the exact category as the first reveal.
Then reveal groups
SEE GROUP reveals the category label so you can verify the shared connection before opening the individual words.
Finish word by word
The four SEE WORD buttons let you reveal only the entries you need, which keeps the rest of the board playable.
