The Connections Unlimited game, launched by The New York Times, presents a 16-word grid, where players must find four words that relate to each other based on a common category. These groups can be based on topics like synonyms, pop culture references, or even tricky wordplay.
Every puzzle features four categories, ranked by difficulty:
Yellow (Easiest)
Green (Medium)
Blue (Hard)
Purple (Trickiest)
If you find yourself stuck, don't worry—we have today’s answers for you!
Here are the four categories and their corresponding words for today’s puzzle:
Yellow Category: Things That Are Cold
Ice, Snow, Frost, Chill
Green Category: Types of Shoes
Sneaker, Loafer, Boot, Sandal
Blue Category: Famous Painters
Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt
Purple Category: Words That End in 'X'
Box, Climax, Syntax, Phoenix
Did you get all of them right? If not, don’t worry—this game is meant to be challenging!
Scan for obvious groups – Start by identifying any clear word associations.
Think outside the box – Some connections involve wordplay or idioms.
Use process of elimination – If a set of words doesn't form a valid group, try rearranging them.
Watch for tricky categories – The purple category is often the most deceptive!
