Hints and Answers for NYT Connections Game on June 12

NEW YORK, NY — The daily NYT Connections game offers a fresh puzzle every day at midnight. As word game enthusiasts prepare for today’s challenge, players can access hints and answers for the game dated June 12.

Kris Holt, a contributor for Forbes, previews the game and shares insights within a community of players. Today is also notable, as it marks the only Friday the 13th of the year, a day some may approach with caution or as a chance to enjoy spooky traditions.

Today’s puzzle features a grid of 16 words. Players must group the words into four categories, each consisting of four words. Categories can range from items associated with body parts to names relevant in research studies. As they solve the puzzle, players should pay particular attention to words that might fit into multiple categories.

Once players select four words believed to belong together, they can submit their guesses. Incorrect guesses lead to the loss of lives, with a cap of four mistakes resulting in game over. To keep players on track, hints are provided for each group, though users should be careful as spoilers may arise with further exploration.

Holt notes that today’s hints lean toward a theme puzzle, hinting at the exciting challenge ahead. Players might encounter familiar terms in categories related to action verbs or playful word associations.

The chance to review previous games is also available for those with a New York Times All Access or Games subscription. This allows users to refine their skills by tackling past puzzles they may have missed.

As the community shares results and encourages each other through social media, Holt invites readers to return tomorrow for new hints and answers for the next edition of the game.
