Answers For Today’s NYT Connections
Even as regular NYT players, we found today’s Connections challenging and needed some extra help to solve it. You may also find it difficult.
After one mistake and a few minutes, we got the second group right instead of the first, which had words like Chance, Shot, Time, and Turn and was titled ” Opportunity.”
Now that we could not get the easiest group (Yellow), we were curious about it.
Later, when my colleague closely analyzed all the words, he suggested grouping out the words Bust, Dud, Flop, and Miss, which I did and got the category “Clunker.”
After nearly 15 minutes for both groups, we decided to investigate the meanings of the remaining words and progress through the puzzle.
