NYT Connections Game Reveals New Puzzle Hints and Answers

New York City, NY — The New York Times has announced the hints and answers for today’s NYT Connections puzzle, game #802, which launched at midnight local time. Players are challenged to group a grid of 16 words into four categories based on common themes.

Today’s puzzle features four distinct groups, which range in difficulty from the easiest yellow category to the more challenging purple category. The yellow category includes words related to accidents and mistakes, while the green category explores fictional places. The blue category comprises items associated with communication, and the purple category contains words that can be followed by a term for a quick doodle.

Hints for the categories include that the yellow group centers on blunders such as ‘Boo-Boo’ and ‘Gaffe.’ The green group consists of ‘Dream,’ ‘Fantasy,’ and ‘Never Never,’ all relating to lands of imagination. The blue group identifies communication tools like ‘Insect,’ ‘Radio Tower,’ and ‘Teletubby’ as having antennae.
