April 28, 2024 Connections hints
NYT describes Connections as “a word game that challenges players to find themes between words.” Each puzzle presents 16 words to sort into four groups of four. The colors mark difficulty: Yellow is easiest, followed by Green and Blue, with Purple the trickiest. Words can appear to fit more than one possible category, so look for the relationship that accounts for all four words in a group.
Try these hints before the answers
- Scan the full grid for pairs or trios that seem related, then look for the word that completes each set.
- One group consists of words that can describe a strong feeling.

- For the last group, think of words that can come before “Mary.”
