Spoiler warning: The hints below keep the four answers hidden; the full solution follows. This is the archived New York Times Connections puzzle for Wednesday, June 12, 2024, game #367.
Spoiler-safe hints for Connections #367
- One group consists of places in New York City.
- For another group, listen for titles that rhyme.
- Two groups depend on where a word appears in a title: look for a measurement unit at the end, and an animal at the beginning.
Full answers for June 12, 2024
Stop here if you only wanted hints. The four intended groups are:
Places in New York City
- CHINATOWN
- DUMBO
- MANHATTAN
- WALL STREET
Rhyming titles
- BE KIND REWIND
- E.T.
- FRIGHT NIGHT
- KILL BILL
Ending in units of measurement
- HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
- MY LEFT FOOT
- THE GREEN MILE
- THE LONGEST YARD
Starting with animals
- BEETLEJUICE
- FOXY BROWN
- DOGMA
- OCTOPUSSY
How the wordplay works
The measurement group ends with inch, foot, mile, and yard. The animal group begins with beetle, fox, dog, and octopus. The New York City group is the most literal; the remaining titles are grouped by their rhyming sounds.
Why a plausible alternate grouping may not work
The New York Times Help Center explains that each Connections puzzle has exactly one solution, even though words can appear to fit more than one category. Treat an apparent overlap as a clue to test rather than proof of a second official answer.
