This guide is for NYT Connections puzzle #440, dated August 24, 2024. Its exact board and answer groups could not be verified, so this page does not guess at the words or present unconfirmed solutions as fact. Make sure you have the right date: the August 24, 2025 puzzle was #805, a different game.
How to identify the August 24 puzzle
Use both the date and number to identify the board: August 24, 2024 is #440. An August 24, 2025 guide refers to #805, not #440. A later puzzle’s answers cannot confirm the answers to the 2024 board.
Hints and answers for puzzle #440
The exact sixteen words and four solution groups for #440 are not established here. Without a verifiable board, publishing category hints or answers would risk sending you toward a fabricated solution. If you are solving the puzzle, use the board shown in NYT Games rather than relying on an answer page for another year.
