More NYT Connections Tips & Tricks

  1. Start with the most obvious connections first - usually the Yellow group.
  2. Look for proper nouns, plural forms, or words that fit common categories.
  3. Be careful with red herrings - words that seem to fit multiple groups.
  4. The Purple group often involves wordplay, puns, or very specific themes.
  5. If you're stuck, try thinking about what the words have in common beyond their literal meaning.
