Hi guys! Welcome to the start of a new week! I hope you are well rested and ready to go. Today’s game is pretty tough so I hope I can help you keep your streak going if you need a little help.
Today’s NYT Connections hints and answers come immediately.
How to play the links
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play at NYT website or the Games app.
You are presented with a grid of 16 words. Your goal is to arrange them into four groups of four, identifying the links between them. Groups could be things like clickable items, names for research participants, or words before a body part.
There is only one solution to each puzzle and you should be careful when dealing with words that may fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to help you perhaps see the links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, the blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the hardest. The purple team often includes wordplay.
Choose four words that you think go together and hit submit. If you make a guess and get it wrong, you’ll lose a life. If you’re getting close to making a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still have to figure out which ones to trade.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of a few pointers, and if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with me Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and in group chats.

I got back to winning ways with a perfect game. Here’s how I did:

I laughed the moment I saw the grid pop up. A collection of funny words. However, KING KONG made my purples pretty obvious. BUBBLES was Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee, while GEORGE refers to Curious George and KOKO, a gorilla, was said to be able to understand thousands of words in English.
I wasn’t sure the SKRTT matched the greens, but I took a guess and it worked. Beyond that, I wasn’t sure about the blues and yellows, but some lucky guesses led me to the former. This left the yellow group to win.
That’s all there is for today Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for tips and the solution for Tuesday’s game if you need them.
PS Congo It might have been worth recommending here given KOKO’s inclusion, but let’s go with a much better primate-related horror film. I think Jordan Peele is probably the most exciting mainstream director working today. I love all three of his movies so far, but No it’s probably my favorite. It is simply fantastic:
