NYT Connections is a word puzzle game from The New York Times that tests vocabulary and word association skills. The game, created by Wyna Liu, presents players with 16 words to sort into four groups of four, based on hidden connections. Since its launch during beta testing on June 12, 2023, it has gained popularity, becoming the second-most-played game after Wordle.
Here are some clues to help solve today’s puzzle: think about words related to easily reachable places (Yellow), essentials for mailing a letter (Green), common words found on doors (Blue), and rights guaranteed by the First Amendment (Purple).
Today’s categories are: CONVENIENTLY LOCATED, NEEDS FOR SENDING A LETTER, WORDS ON A DOOR, and FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS.
The solutions for today’s puzzle are: For CONVENIENTLY LOCATED the words are ACCESSIBLE, CLOSE, HANDY, NEARBY; for NEEDS FOR SENDING A LETTER the words are ADDRESS, ENVELOPE, NAME, STAMP; for WORDS ON A DOOR the words are EXIT, OPEN, PUSH, WELCOME; and for FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS the words are ASSEMBLY, PETITION, PRESS, SPEECH.
Players solve the game by finding connections between words. By using synonyms, and word associations they can crack the puzzle. The game offers hints and allows players to track their progress, challenge friends, and solve a new puzzle daily. Each day, a new puzzle is available on the NYT website and app. The groups have color-coding, with the yellow group being the easiest to solve and purple being the most challenging. Players need to avoid mistakes; if they make four incorrect guesses, the game is over.
