About the date and puzzle
This is game #731, dated Wednesday, June 11, 2025. TechRadar published its puzzle page on June 10, noting that a new Connections puzzle appears at midnight in each time zone; that can make the publication date differ from the puzzle date. TechRadar’s June 10, 2025 page and an Inkl republication list the same board and solutions. The Inkl page republishes TechRadar’s article, so it is a cross-check rather than an independent official NYT record.
#1 Best Overall
TechRadar describes Connections as a word game in which players sort words into groups of four, with categories of varying difficulty and up to four mistakes allowed. It also notes that puzzles can use wordplay such as homophones. The article’s “Hard” rating and “Fail” score are the writer’s own, not objective measures of difficulty or a general player result. The cited article says the puzzle can be played on NYT Games on desktop or mobile; it does not establish whether access requires payment.
