Connections Unlimited is a daily word puzzle by The New York Times, designed by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu. Each day, players face a 4x4 grid of 16 words and must group them into four sets of four based on a shared theme. The catch? You only get four mistakes before the game ends, and the connections can range from straightforward to delightfully obscure, testing your pattern recognition and critical thinking skills.
If you're stuck or just want to confirm your guesses, here are the full solutions for today's Connections puzzle:
Yellow Group: Parts of a Park
BENCH, FOUNTAIN, PATH, TREE
Green Group: Recreational Activities
BIKING, HIKING, JOGGING, SWIMMING
Blue Group: Carpentry Terms
DRILL, HAMMER, NAIL, SAW
Purple Group: Homophones for Food Items
BEAN, MEET, PEAR, SOUP
These answers align with the puzzle's structure, where Yellow is the easiest group to spot, and Purple often requires lateral thinking due to its wordplay element.
