When does the next Connections game start?
According to the NYT game site, Connections will refresh just after 12 AM, meaning that there's plenty of time throughout the day to fill in and complete your guesses for each round if you need to take a break and come back to it later on.
How to play Connections
To play NYT Connections, all you need to do is head to the game's landing page and press the 'Play' button to get into the guessing. From there, after selecting the four answers you think are most closely related to one another, press 'Submit'.
If your answer is correct, it'll display the theme and highlight the answers in a list before allowing you to select words for the next round. Each of the four groups has its own difficulty too, so you'll know which one you've managed to get out of the way upon completing each one.
These are ranked in the following order, with yellow being the easiest and purple being the most difficult:
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
It's worth noting that each day you are given a total of four mistakes, and these carry across each round within a day. If you fail to guess them before using up your allotted total of mistakes, Connections will display the correct answers for you - which can be useful to learn from and take into the next game.
After you've played Connections a few times, you'll likely start to identify patterns pretty easily, which should help with making your guesses a little faster. If you've found yourself staring at the word grid for so long that all of the words have started to lose meaning, though, I know that feeling all too well, and one thing I always find a lifesaver here is using the 'Shuffle' button, which allows you to refresh the game grid.
It may seem like a simple solution, but shuffling those words around really can help you to see the words with new eyes - it may even help you find that answer a bit quicker!
So that's everything there is to know about the answers and clues for today's game in Connections from The NYT. Be sure to check back tomorrow (and the next day!) for updated hints to help you in guessing the next word groupings.
