NEW YORK, NY — The New York Times (NYT) released its daily installment of the Connections puzzle on Friday, May 23, providing players with a fresh challenge every day at midnight local time. Players must arrange 16 words into four groups of four, identifying the links between them.

This week, author Kris Holt shared insights on the popular game, highlighting how it has captivated word enthusiasts. Holt noted that engagement with the puzzle allows players to think critically while also having fun. “Each group’s difficulty varies, with colors indicating the challenge level, from yellow as the easiest, to purple as the hardest,” he explained.

The featured words for today’s puzzle include ‘stone’, ‘fiber’, ‘marble’, and ‘eyeliner’, among others. Players need to identify the common themes connecting the words to successfully complete the challenge.

Holt encourages players to use hints and clues when necessary. Observing this community often fosters discussions about strategies and can help in tackling tougher puzzles. “It’s all about connecting with others and sharing experiences,” said Holt.

For those struggling with the current puzzle, Holt’s hints serve as a guide to avoid common pitfalls. “You might think a word fits into multiple categories, but being precise in your selections is key,” he advised.
