Today’s NYT Connections game provided players with a grid of 16 words that needed to be categorized into four groups of four based on their connections. Each group is color-coded, with the purple group typically being the most challenging due to wordplay involved. Players could shuffle the words to help identify links between them and had the option to submit their guesses after selecting four words they believed belonged together. Making four mistakes resulted in the end of the game.
The hints for today’s Connections groups were given to help players in organizing the words. The yellow group clue was to “say cheese,” the green group hint indicated an easy win, the blue group suggested moving in an effortless way, and the purple group was linked by one of the first possessions most people have. After navigating through the hints and carefully considering the connections between the words, players were provided with the answers for each group.
The yellow group consisted of the words PIC, SHOT, SNAP, and STILL, the green group included CINCH, ICE, LOCK, and SECURE, the blue group involved BREEZE, COAST, GLIDE, and SAIL, and the purple group linked PICNIC, SECURITY, THROW, and WET. Each group had a distinct theme or connection tying the words together, and players had to carefully analyze each word to correctly categorize them. Despite making one mistake, the player was able to achieve a streak of four wins by correctly identifying the connections between the words.
The player shared their experience with the game, explaining the process of identifying the groups and how they made a mistake in the initial grouping. After realizing the error and adjusting the selection, the player was able to successfully categorize the remaining words. The excitement of solving the puzzles and the satisfaction of getting the correct connections demonstrated the enjoyment and challenge of the Connections game.
In addition to providing hints and answers for the Connections game, the player also recommended a new brain-teasing game called “Lorelei and the Laser Eyes” available on Switch and Steam. Developed by Simogo, the studio behind popular game Sayonara Wild Hearts, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is centered around puzzles and a mysterious plot that unfolds as players progress. The player expressed their love for the game and its complexity, teasing a more in-depth write-up in the future for those interested in exploring a new challenging puzzle game experience.
Overall, the experience of playing Wednesday’s Connections game was engaging and rewarding, with players challenged to think critically and creatively to identify the connections between the words provided. The game provided a mix of difficulty levels with color-coded groups and hints to guide players through the process. With strategic thinking and attention to detail, players could successfully categorize the words and achieve a streak of wins. The addition of a recommendation for a new puzzling game added to the player’s enthusiasm for brain-teasing challenges and provided an avenue for further exploration in the world of puzzles and mysteries.
