Struggling with today's NYT Connections puzzle? You're not alone! This increasingly popular word game from the New York Times challenges players to find the common threads between seemingly disparate words. If you're finding today's puzzle particularly tricky, fear not – we've got the hints and solutions you need to conquer Connections #842.
What is NYT Connections?
Connections, created with the help of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, presents players with 16 words and tasks them with grouping them into four categories. These categories can range from book titles to software to country names. The challenge lies in identifying the single correct answer, even when multiple words seem to fit together.
Players have four attempts to correctly identify all four words in a set. A wrong guess counts as a mistake, and after four mistakes, the game ends. To aid in the process, players can shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier.
