NYT Connections Daily Puzzle: Hints and Answers for October 20

NEW YORK, NY — The New York Times Connections game challenges players each day with a grid of words that need to be grouped into categories. The game goes live at midnight local time, and today’s puzzle for October 20 is now available.

In the puzzle, players must sort 16 words into four groups of four related items. The groups can have varying levels of difficulty; typically, the yellow group is easiest, followed by blue, green, and purple.

“It’s a fun challenge that really keeps you on your toes,” said avid player Kris Holt. “Each day offers something a little different, which keeps the game exciting.”

Today’s words cover various themes but are accompanied by hints to guide players. Starting with easier clues makes it possible to build momentum as players work to find all the correct groupings.

Players can guess wrong three times before the game ends, adding an extra layer of strategy. Many enjoy the thrill of a long winning streak, and sharing results with friends using an emoji grid is common among players.

To add to the excitement, Holt shared that they enjoyed the surprising connections in today’s puzzle, which included familiar words and clever tricks. “It’s those little twists that make it all worthwhile,” they said.
