HIGHLIGHTS
- Ginkgo is a name derived from the Japanese word “ginkyō,” which refers to the tree or its leaves and is placed in the Blue group.
- Mogul describes the bumps that form on ski slopes in downhill areas where the surface remains unflattened.
- “School Periods,” “Features of a Ski Resort,” “Words Derived From Japanese,” and “Words After the Prefix ‘Tri-‘” are the four groups in the January 25th NYT Connections.
The New York Times offers a wide variety of puzzle games, including Connections, Wordle, and Strands.
Yesterday’s puzzle featured words like Muse and Soul, which were challenging to categorize into groups.
In today’s 594th edition of NYT Connections, most players, myself included, found it challenging to categorize Ginkgo and Mogul into any group.
NYT Connections Answers For Today (January 25)
Regular Connections players understand that a word can hold multiple meanings or seem to belong to several groups.
This increases the game’s difficulty, pushing players to think critically to solve the puzzle.
We begin by carefully analyzing the given words, and before long, we successfully identify the first group.
In today’s NYT Connections, the yellow group, the easiest of the four, is labeled “School Periods.”
It includes words like Class, Homeroom, Lunch, and Recess, all connected by the common theme of different periods in school.
Meaning Of Mogul In NYT Connections
Mogul describes the bumps that form on ski slopes in downhill areas where the surface remains unflattened.
This pairs perfectly with words like Lift, Lodge, and Slope, which are all key elements of a ski resort.
Grouping these four words will create the green category in today’s game, titled “Features of a Ski Resort.“
With half of the puzzle complete, we now have to arrange the remaining words into two different groups.
Ginkgo Meaning In NYT Connections
The puzzle includes several words that originated from Japanese, which we easily recognize and group together into one category.
Ginkgo is a name derived from the Japanese word “ginkyō,” which refers to the tree or its leaves.
Similarly, Tycoon is originally a Japanese word, “taikun,” meaning a powerful person or a business leader.
These words share a common theme, meaning combining Ginkgo and Tycoon with Emoji and Karaoke will form a group in NYT Connections.
With only four words remaining, we select them and submit the puzzle, revealing the final group.
The purple group, named “Words After the Prefix ‘Tri-‘,” consists of words like Angle, Cycle, Dent, and Pod.
Here is today’s final list of words and themes for NYT Connections, organized by their difficulty levels.
- School Periods (Yellow): Class, Homeroom, Lunch, Recess
- Features of a Ski Resort (Green): Lift, Lodge, Mogul, Slope
- Words Derived From Japanese (Blue): Emoji, Ginkgo, Karaoke, Tycoon
- Words After the Prefix “Tri-“ (Purple): Angle, Cycle, Dent, Pod
