Hints and Answers for Today’s NYT Connections Game

NEW YORK, NY – The New York Times brings you a new round of its popular daily word game, Connections, every day at midnight local time. Today, players will need to group 16 words into four categories during the challenge.

In the game, participants work to identify links between words. Each group might represent themes like animals, foods, or famous names. Players are reminded to shuffle words if they get stuck, which can help spot connections. Different colors indicate group difficulty: yellow is usually the easiest, blue and green are intermediate, while purple often involves wordplay.

For those needing assistance, recent updates from contributors offer hints. One player reported solving the most challenging category involving Dumbo, Bambi, Pinocchio, and various mouse characters. Success in the game requires a keen eye for potential connections and a willingness to take risks.

As Connections also fosters a community, players enjoy chatting online about hints and strategies. Many share their experiences, and some even discuss lessons from past schools that elicit a sense of nostalgia, as seen in a contributor’s personal reflections on closing high school.

To get started with today’s game, visit the New York Times website or use the NYT Games app. Remember, if you access the game regularly, your feedback can help improve the experience for everyone!

Today’s full list of groups and words will be revealed after the hints. Make sure to check back for the complete set of answers after the game!
