The New York Times’ Connections puzzle has become one of the platform’s most beloved word games among online players. The daily challenge requires participants to identify common themes linking groups of words together, with each puzzle containing 16 words divided into four distinct categories. Associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu helped develop this popular game, which is accessible on both web browsers and mobile devices.
Gameplay involves selecting four words that share a connecting concept, with successful matches removing those words from the board. Players are permitted up to four incorrect guesses before the game concludes. The difficulty increases progressively, with each category color-coded for reference: yellow represents the easiest level, followed by green, blue, and purple as the most challenging. Like other New York Times games, results can be shared across social media platforms.
Today’s puzzle features four categories: words describing false narratives, components of undergarments, items associated with evergreen trees, and terms beginning with names of Disney characters. The solutions include familiar phrases and compound words that fit each thematic connection. Players seeking assistance can utilize hints or the complete answer key provided, allowing both casual solvers and competitive players to enjoy the experience at their own pace.
