How to use the Connections Helper
NYT Connections gives you 16 tiles to sort into four groups of four. Some words can seem to fit more than one group. If you’re torn between two possibilities, start with a hint for the colour you’re working on.
- Show hint gives you a gentle clue. Choose Stronger hint for a more direct one.
- Reveal category shows what links the group. Tap an individual tile to see one word at a time.
- Open Full solution to see all four categories and their tiles.
What do the Connections colours mean?
Yellow is usually the most straightforward group, followed by green and blue. Purple is usually the trickiest and can involve wordplay. The hint cards follow the same colour order as the puzzle.
Can I get hints for an earlier puzzle?
Yes. Pick a saved date in Need a different date? and select Load puzzle. The date above the board tells you which puzzle you’re viewing. If today’s hints aren’t ready, the helper opens the latest saved puzzle.
This is an unofficial companion to NYT Connections. We use the puzzle’s answer groups to generate our own hints. Reveals here are separate from your game on the NYT site.
