Need a nudge before the full solution? These spoiler-ordered hints are for the New York Times Connections puzzle #430, published Wednesday, August 14, 2024. Start with the broad clues, then reveal the category names and complete word groups only when you’re ready.
Gentle hints for Connections #430
The board has 16 words to sort into four groups of four. These clues start broad so you can try the puzzle before seeing its categories:
- One group is about making a mistake.
- One group is made up of flowers.
- One group describes actions associated with bees.
- One group connects to famous Yankees players.
The first three groups rely on straightforward associations. The last is more specific: think of the first names of Yankees legends. Connections boards can include words that seem to fit more than one group, so look for the set that makes the clearest connection before committing.
Category labels
Still working it out? The four categories are:
- BLUNDER
- FLOWERS
- THINGS BEES DO
