Hey, everyone! I hope your week’s off to a great start. Let’s make sure we keep your Connections streak going.
Anyway, today’s NYT Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb or rappers.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is typically the hardest one to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so bear that in mind.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.

What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
- Yellow group — encourage, with “on” (EGG, GOAD, SPUR, URGE)
- Green group — spherical foods (JAWBREAKER, MEATBALL, MOZZARELLA, ORANGE)
- Blue group — grocery store aisles (DAIRY, FROZEN, PRODUCE, SNACK)
- Purple group — go ____ (BANANAS, FIGURE, FISH, STEADY)
My two-game win streak is over. Boo hoo.
The yellow group was easy enough as soon as I spotted GOAD. There aren’t many alternate meanings for that. PRODUCE and FROZEN gave me entry points into the blues as well.
I was stumped after that. I thought at first there might be a group of words that don’t rhyme, given the presence of ORANGE, but nothing else lined up with that. I don’t really think of MOZZARELLA as a spherical food, even though I always buy it fresh, so that didn’t click for me at all, while I don’t think I’ve ever seen a JAWBREAKER. I didn’t clock the purples either, so after a few random guesses, I was out of luck.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Wednesday’s game if you need them.
