If you need a nod in the right direction to figure out the answers, you have come to the right place. The New York Times launched Connections in mid-2023, and the game has quickly gained popularity as a daily activity. Each day, the game presents sixteen different words in a 4x4 grid. Your goal is to find the eponymous connections between them. They are split into four categories, but you don't know which categories these are when you start playing; you must look at all the words and try to deduce yourself. To guess, simply select the four words you think are grouped together and click the Submit button. Doing so, you get feedback from the game on whether it was a correct guess or it cost you a \"life.\" You have a maximum of three mistakes to make each day, and making a fourth mistake means you lose. With a correct guess, the selected words are removed from the \"pool\" and grouped together to reveal the name of their category. The four categories are color-coded in yellow, green, blue, and purple, where yellow is traditionally the most straightforward and purple is the trickiest. Keep reading to find a few hints, the categories, and the answers for today's Connections. Each of them is split in a different section, so as to not spoil the answers unintentionally.

If you need a nod in the right direction to figure out the answers, you have come to the right place. The New York Times launched Connections in mid-2023, and the game has quickly gained popularity as a daily activity. Each day, the game presents sixteen different words in a 4x4 grid. Your goal is to find the eponymous connections between them. They are split into four categories, but you don't know which categories these are when you start playing; you must look at all the words and try to deduce yourself. To guess, simply select the four words you think are grouped together and click the Submit button. Doing so, you get feedback from the game on whether it was a correct guess or it cost you a \"life.\" You have a maximum of three mistakes to make each day, and making a fourth mistake means you lose. With a correct guess, the selected words are removed from the \"pool\" and grouped together to reveal the name of their category. The four categories are color-coded in yellow, green, blue, and purple, where yellow is traditionally the most straightforward and purple is the trickiest. Keep reading to find a few hints, the categories, and the answers for today's Connections. Each of them is split in a different section, so as to not spoil the answers unintentionally. Hints for today's Connections (Jan. 8) A few hints for today's categories of Connections (#577) are: \ud83d\udfe8 Yellow group: part of a whole that is dedicated to one specific thing (or more) \ud83d\udfe9 Green group: certain musicians use these when making music \ud83d\udfe6 Blue group: parts of the body of a certain animal \ud83d\udfea Purple group: music fans might recognize these words with a different spelling We don't want to make it too simple or obvious at first for those who only need a nod in the right direction. But if those still don't ring a bell, you might need the actual names of each category. That is where the next section comes in. Keep reading to learn more.

If you need a nod in the right direction to figure out the answers, you have come to the right place. The New York Times launched Connections in mid-2023, and the game has quickly gained popularity as a daily activity. Each day, the game presents sixteen different words in a 4x4 grid. Your goal is to find the eponymous connections between them. They are split into four categories, but you don't know which categories these are when you start playing; you must look at all the words and try to deduce yourself. To guess, simply select the four words you think are grouped together and click the Submit button. Doing so, you get feedback from the game on whether it was a correct guess or it cost you a \"life.\" You have a maximum of three mistakes to make each day, and making a fourth mistake means you lose. With a correct guess, the selected words are removed from the \"pool\" and grouped together to reveal the name of their category. The four categories are color-coded in yellow, green, blue, and purple, where yellow is traditionally the most straightforward and purple is the trickiest. Keep reading to find a few hints, the categories, and the answers for today's Connections. Each of them is split in a different section, so as to not spoil the answers unintentionally.

If you need a nod in the right direction to figure out the answers, you have come to the right place. The New York Times launched Connections in mid-2023, and the game has quickly gained popularity as a daily activity. Each day, the game presents sixteen different words in a 4x4 grid. Your goal is to find the eponymous connections between them. They are split into four categories, but you don't know which categories these are when you start playing; you must look at all the words and try to deduce yourself. To guess, simply select the four words you think are grouped together and click the Submit button. Doing so, you get feedback from the game on whether it was a correct guess or it cost you a \"life.\" You have a maximum of three mistakes to make each day, and making a fourth mistake means you lose. With a correct guess, the selected words are removed from the \"pool\" and grouped together to reveal the name of their category. The four categories are color-coded in yellow, green, blue, and purple, where yellow is traditionally the most straightforward and purple is the trickiest. Keep reading to find a few hints, the categories, and the answers for today's Connections. Each of them is split in a different section, so as to not spoil the answers unintentionally.
