NYT Connections Game Hints and Strategies for September 19

New York, NY — The New York Times launched its daily word game Connections at midnight local time, presenting players with a new challenge each day. On September 19, the game required players to group 16 words into four categories of four.

Connections is a free game available on the NYT website and Games app, with a subscription providing access to previous games. The goal is to categorize the words without knowing the groupings beforehand, making for a tricky but rewarding experience.

The game allows three incorrect guesses. A fourth wrong guess leads to game over. Each group is represented by a color: yellow, blue, green, and purple. Players often find that yellow is the easiest category. The game can also feature red herrings to mislead players.

Today’s words are shrouded in mystery, but hints are provided to guide players. For those seeking solutions, one word from each group can be revealed, gradually leading to a fuller understanding of the categories.

Kris Holt, a writer known for covering video games and word games, prompted players to embrace the community aspect of Connections. He encourages feedback, often using Discord to communicate with followers.

Players enjoy tracking their progress and challenging themselves to achieve long win streaks, sometimes aiming for a reverse rainbow by guessing the color groups in correct order without mistakes.

As the game unfolds, Holt shares his own experiences with the game today, offering insights into his thought process while arranging words into groups. He shares that the game remains an enjoyable way to engage with language.

For all enthusiasts or newcomers to the NYT Connections game, Holt vows to return with more hints and strategies on Monday, allowing players time to enjoy today’s challenge over the weekend.
