However, I found Luxe and Malt particularly difficult to group in today’s NYT Connections puzzle.
Solutions For Today’s NYT Connections (June 21, 2025)
In Connections, words are organized into four categories: Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple, with each representing increasing levels of difficulty.
Your task is to sort words into four distinct categories based on the common themes they share.
The yellow group, considered the easiest of the four, is titled “Stocky” in today’s NYT Connections.
It includes words like Solid, Squat, Stout, and Thick, which are used to describe something that is strongly built or stocky in form.
Moving forward, I noticed another set of synonymous words commonly associated with describing an organization.
This made up the green group “Company,” which included words like Concern, Firm, House, and Outfit.
This will complete half of the puzzle. With the remaining eight words, you’ll need to form two more distinct groups.
Among the remaining words, I spotted four that are food items, and assuming a connection, I grouped them together.
My assumption was correct, and this formed the blue group titled “Apple Products,” consisting of words like Brandy, Butter, Cider, and Sauce.
