The New York Times’ Connections puzzle has become a popular word game that challenges players to identify common themes linking groups of words. Created with help from associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, the game presents 16 words that must be organized into four distinct categories. Players have up to four chances to make incorrect guesses before the game ends.
Today’s puzzle, #1160, features categories organized by difficulty level and color-coded for easy identification. The yellow category, considered easiest, focuses on items with black-and-yellow coloring. The green category explores places where conformity prevails, while the blue category highlights tools used by comic book artists. The purple category, typically the most challenging, identifies companies and brands represented by triangle-shaped logos.
The complete solutions reveal diverse themes: black-and-yellow items include Bumblebee, Caution Tape, Charlie Brown, and Wolverine. Places of uniform thinking encompass Bubble, Echo Chamber, Hivemind, and Silo. Comic artists rely on Bristol Board, Dip Pen, India Ink, and Straightedge. Triangle logos represent Bass Ale, Citgo, Delta Airlines, and Google Drive, completing today’s puzzle.
Like the popular word game Wordle, Connections resets daily with fresh puzzles of increasing difficulty. Players can shuffle the board to help spot connections and share their results on social media once solved.
