The New York Times’ Connections puzzle continues to captivate players with its daily challenge of identifying common themes among 16 words. Today’s puzzle, numbered #1181, offers a moderate difficulty level for those familiar with fashion and wordplay. The game tasks players with grouping four words into each of four distinct categories, with only one correct solution per group.
For those seeking guidance without immediate answers, today’s puzzle contains several thematic categories. The yellow tier, typically the easiest, features spherical objects. The green tier involves foods with compound names. The blue tier focuses on varieties of eels, while the purple tier challenges players to identify accessories containing specific letters. Each incorrect guess counts against the player’s limit of four mistakes before the game ends.
Players who have solved today’s puzzle will find that the yellow category includes bowling balls, eyes, moons, and oranges. The green section comprises cake donuts, candy corn, cherry tomatoes, and pizza pies. The blue tier unexpectedly features toy brands—Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Micro Machines, and Tonka. Finally, the purple category contains mathematical terms: average, count, max, and sum, each containing letters at their start and end positions.
Like its predecessor Wordle, Connections resets daily and allows players to share results on social media. The puzzle can be accessed through web browsers or mobile devices via the New York Times Games section.
