NYT Connections Solution And Hints For Today
NYT offers a total of 16 words in NYT Connections. The words must be categorized into four groups based on their similar category.
Colors indicate the toughness level of categories. Yellow indicates the issue category, and Purple is the hardest, followed by Green and Blue.
We began to solve the puzzle, picking the most straightforward word: HAT TRICK. The word meant repetition up to three times.
So, we started looking for words representing three times and added THREEPAT, TRIFECTA, and TRIPLE CROWN to our list.
The words belonged to the category TRIO OF SPORTS ACHIEVEMENTS.
Now, for the second group, we picked PAINT and sorted other words. This was quite easy, and we quickly recognized DROP CLOTH, ROLLER, and TAPE. NEEDS FOR PAINTING A ROOM category didn’t take any time.
Only 8 words left, and it was our last category to sort out. The game had been much easier at this time.
