NYT Connections is part of the New York Times daily word puzzle where players must sort 16 words into four categories.
Further, each word on the grid has more than one straightforward meaning and comes under a different category than one expected.
For today, words like Brood and Muse might be obstacles to players as Vixen and Pagan were for yesterday’s puzzle.
Answers For NYT Connections With Word Meaning
With the difficulty level of today’s edition being 2.8 out of 5, I was sure to nail the easier categories on my first attempt.
So, I picked Interrupt, Litter, Point, and Brood for my first guess, but I lost a life as I was a word away from getting the category.
My next move was to pick Interrupt, Litter, Point, and Stare from the NYT Connections mix.
Further, I completed the green category titled “Rude Things To Do.” Soon, I moved on to pick Craft, Line, Trade, and Work.
The words formed the blue category titled “Vocation” in today’s NYT Connections, leaving me with 8 words on the grid.
Muse Meaning In NYT Connections
With my next guess, I planned to clear the yellow category and picked Brood, Muse, Ponder, and Reflect for the purpose.
Fortunately, I got the yellow group title “Contemplate,” and the words in the group referred to looking or thinking thoroughly for a long time.
Similarly, in today’s NYT Connections, the meaning of Muse is to be absorbed in thought rather than one’s inspiration.
Another word in the same category, Brood, didn’t imply offspring. Instead, it is to think deeply about something that makes one unhappy, angry, or worried.
Soul Meaning In NYT Connections With Final Categories
Finally, I grouped the last four words, Cabbage, Nicotine, Rough, and Soul, to complete my puzzle for today.
Moreover, the words formed the purple group “___Patch.” Despite the seemingly different words, they shared a common ending word, relating to a small area or section of something.
In today’s NYT Connection, Soul had a different meaning when combined with Patch. Soul Patch is a small portion of facial hair below one’s lips.
Similarly, the phrase Cabbage Patch refers to a small plot of land with vegetables; a Nicotine Patch is a small tape containing a microdose of nicotine.
Additionally, Rough Patch is a period where someone is having a hard time.
So, with that, the final answers for today’s NYT Connections are:
- Rude Things To Do (Green): Interrupt, Litter, Point, Stare
- Vocation (Blue): Craft, Line, Trade, Work
- Contemplate (Yellow): Brood, Muse, Ponder, Reflect
- ___Patch (Purple): Cabbage, Nicotine, Rough, Soul
