NYT Connections Answers For Today (February 2)
Correctly grouping the words in NYT Connections can be challenging, as many have multiple meanings.
A single word may seem to fit into multiple categories, adding to both the challenge and the enjoyment of the puzzle.
Start today’s puzzle by analyzing each word. You’ll easily identify the yellow group, as it is the simplest of the four groups.
The group is called “Info on a Baseball Card” and includes words that describe key player statistics and details.
Players can complete the first set by grouping Bio, Player, Stat, and Team together.
Meaning Of Pucker In NYT Connections
In today’s NYT Connections, the meaning of Pucker is to wrinkle or constrict, referring to the act of tightening skin or fabric until small folds form.
This pairs perfectly with words like Bunch, Gather, and Ruffle, which refer to scrunching fabric.

With half of the puzzle solved, we now need to arrange the remaining 8 words into two groups.
Today’s blue group is named “Time Adverbs” and it consists of words that describe when or how often an action occurs.
It includes words like Later, Now, Soon, and Then, all of which are adverbs that describe time.

Here, Soul refers to Soul Food, a cuisine traditionally associated with African American communities in the southern US.
