Why Use Hints Instead of Answers?

• You avoid the disappointment of having the solution spoiled

Tips for Solving NYT Connections Puzzles

Even with hints, these strategies can help you become a better Connections solver:

• Look for common suffixes or prefixes: Many categories are based on words that can have the same beginning or ending.
• Consider multiple meanings: Words often belong to categories based on their less common definitions.
• Watch for proper nouns: Names of people, places, or brands often form their own categories.
• Start with obvious connections: Identify the most straightforward groupings first to simplify the remaining words.
• Don’t force connections: If a grouping isn’t working after several tries, it might not be correct.
