According to Connections Companion, today’s NYT Connections difficulty level is 4.3 out of 5, making it the highest for this month.
However, the difficulty rating does not always reflect the actual challenge, as today’s game doesn’t seem to align with this high rating.
Yet, a few words, such as Lumon, Irving, and Poach, seem to cause difficulty, as they do not seem to have specific meanings.
Answers For Today’s NYT Connections (March 7, 2025)
Analyzing today’s Connections game, the first four words that came across my mind were Label, Mark, Stamp, and Seal.
Each of these words seems to connect with some symbol or emblem, so I grouped them together and got the yellow group “Emblem.”

Dylan And Mercury Meaning In NYT Connections
Moving ahead with the remaining words, I tried connecting Dylan and Brown, each associated with acclaimed musicians Bob Dylan and James Brown.
So, trying to figure out the musicians, I picked Dylan, Brown, Mercury, and Cash, leading to the green group “Subjects of Acclaimed Musical Biopics.“

Each corresponds to the biopics “A Complete Unknown” for Dylan, “Get On Up” for James Brown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” for Freddie Mercury, and “Walk the Line” for Johnny Cash.
Irving And Helena Meaning In NYT Connections #635
As I progressed with the remaining words, I was a bit confused by Helena and Phionix. They somehow seemed to relate to celebrities or U.S. Cities.
So with this confusion, I lost two lives in a row and got the blue group titled “U.S. Cities” with words like Helena, Phoenix, Irving, and Buffalo.

Irving in today’s game refers to the City in Texas, U.S. just northwest of Dallas. Meanwhile, Helena is the capital city of the state of Montana in the U.S.
Lumon And Dote Meaning In NYT Connections #635
With only four words remaining, I quickly grouped them and got the final purple group, “Fruits With Their Second Letter Change.”
So, in today’s game, Lumon does not have a specific meaning; instead, it refers to Lemon, with the second letter misplaced. Meanwhile, Dote, Poach, and Ample were Date palm, Peach, and Apple.

Finally, after losing 2 lives, I was able to complete today’s game with the following answers;
- Emblem (Yellow): Label, Mark, Seal, Stamp
- Subjects of Acclaimed Musical Biopics (Green): Brown, Cash, Dylan, Mercury
- U.S. Cities (Blue): Buffalo, Helena, Irving, Phoenix
- Fruits With Their Second Letter Changed (Purple): Ample, Lumon, Poach, Dote
