New York Times Releases Hints for Connections Game on Mother’s Day

New York, NY – The New York Times has unveiled new hints and answers for its popular word game, Connections, on May 11, coinciding with Mother’s Day celebrations. The game, which requires players to identify connections among 16 given words, continues to attract a large audience.

In each Connections puzzle, players must group four words that share a common thread while navigating through complex categories. Each game resets at midnight, and the difficulty level increases with every new set of words. Players have a limited number of mistakes—up to four—before the game ends.

This Sunday, Erik Kain, a contributor for Forbes, emphasized the Mother’s Day theme of today’s puzzle, which includes hints categorized by difficulty levels. Players can expect to link words like “Mother Earth,” “Mother Goose,” and more as part of the challenge.

To facilitate problem-solving, players can shuffle the board and notice color-coded groupings: yellow signifies the easiest category, followed by green, blue, and purple, which is often the most challenging.

With players eager to connect words, Kain also shared strategies, noting, “Surrounding yourself with good vibes while trying to solve makes a big difference.” For those seeking immediate answers, the article provides hints designed to offer guidance without giving everything away.

The Connections puzzle is just one of the many offerings on The Times’ Games section. Players look forward each day to engaging their minds as they explore different themes and develop new strategies.

Kain concluded, “If you didn’t solve it this time, don’t get discouraged—there’s always tomorrow’s puzzle waiting for you.”
