Answers For Today’s NYT Connections (March 28, 2025)
Analyzing today’s NYT Connections words, the first four that came to my mind were Bookend, Bracket, Flank, and Surround.
Each of these words seems to be related to one another with the phrase of being on both sides, like brackets having two sides, and flanks related to the side between ribs.
So, after grouping out the words, I got the Green group, “Be On Both Sides Of“.

Pelt And Chuck Meaning In NYT Connections #656
Moving ahead with the remaining words, I chose words like Chuck, Pelt, Sling, and Pitch, and got the yellow group “Hurl“.
So, before submitting the words, I made a mistake and clicked Sash instead of Pitch, which caused me to lose one life.

However, in today’s NYT Connections, Pelt means to hurl missiles repeatedly at. Likewise, Chuck means to throw (something) carelessly or casually.
Berta And Sash Meaning In NYT Connections #656
As I progressed with the remaining words, I was unable to come up with any ideas for grouping them.
So, after taking a few hints from a friend, I got the blue group “Parts Of A Classic Girl Scout Uniform” with words like Berta, Sash, Badge, and Skirt.
In today’s NYT Game, a Beret is a soft, round, flat-crowned cap made of hand-knitted wool, worn mainly by Scout Girls.

It’s not the first time Beret has been featured in an NYT game. On October 23, 2024, NYT Connections, Beret referred to a prefix to the word “Green,” making Green Beret.
Green Beret is an official headdress worn by the British Commandos, a special forces unit active during World War II.
Meanwhile, a Sash is a long strip or loop of cloth worn over one shoulder or around the waist, especially as part of a uniform or official dress.
Monty Meaning In NYT Connections With All Groups
With only 4 words remaining at the end, I quickly grouped them out and got the purple group “___Hall“.
Monty in today’s NYT Connections refers to Monty Hall, a Canadian-American radio and television show host.
Likewise, Bingo, City, and Study were Bingo Hall, Study Hall, and City Hall.

Finally, after getting all the titles and coloring up the words, I was able to complete today’s game with the following answers;
- Be on Both Sides Of (Green): Bookend, Bracket, Flank, Surround
- Hurl (Yellow): Chuck, Pelt, Pitch, Sling
