Stuck on today's NYT Mini Crossword or Connections puzzle? You're not alone! These word games from The New York Times have become a daily obsession for many, offering a fun mental workout. But sometimes, you just need a little nudge in the right direction.
What is NYT Connections?
Connections, created with the help of puzzle editor Wyna Liu, challenges players to find the common threads between seemingly unrelated words. Each puzzle presents 16 words, and your task is to group them into four categories. These categories can range from book titles to software, even country names. The catch? Several words might seem to fit in multiple categories, but only one solution is correct. You get four mistakes before the game ends, so choose wisely!
The game is color-coded for difficulty: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple (most challenging). Don't be afraid to shuffle the board to get a fresh perspective.
