Why the date matters
This is puzzle #810 from Friday, August 29, 2025—not the August 29, 2024 puzzle, which was #445. Parade’s August 29, 2025 guide and TechRadar’s August 30 coverage identify #810 with the same four groups.
How Connections works and where to find older puzzles
Connections gives players 16 words to sort into four groups of four by shared theme. The groups are color-coded by difficulty: Yellow is easiest and Purple is trickiest. The game is free on NYT platforms, with a new puzzle released daily at midnight in the player’s timezone. See the NYT Help Center’s Connections guide for the rules.

#1 Best Overall
To play an older puzzle, use the official Connections archive. NYT says archive access is for All Access and Games subscribers; archived games affect statistics but not streaks, and completed archive puzzles cannot be replayed. The archive is separate from free daily play.
