In today’s edition of NYT Connections, players were faced with a grid of 16 words and tasked with arranging them into four groups of four based on the links between them. The difficulty levels of the groups were color-coded, with the purple group typically being the most challenging due to wordplay involved. Players were allowed to shuffle the words to help identify connections and had to be cautious of choosing words that could fit into multiple categories to avoid losing lives. If a player made four mistakes, the game was over.
