NYT Connections is a puzzle game by The New York Times where players group words into four categories based on their similarities.
In Connections, players analyze a grid of 16 words and group four that share a common theme.
In today’s 602nd edition of NYT Connections, most players struggled with the meaning of Partridge and Munster.
NYT Connections Answers For Today (February 2)
In Connections, players group words into four categories Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple—each increasing in difficulty.
The word Hangdog caught my attention in today’s game; it’s an expression that means feeling ashamed, guilty, dejected, or intimidated.
Analyzing each word in the puzzle, I quickly noticed three other synonyms words and paired them together.
Grouping Blue, Down, Hangdog, and Sorry together created the yellow category named “Dejected.“
Moving forward, I noticed several bird names in the puzzle and instinctively grouped them together.
This formed the green group “Birds That Are Verbs,” which included Duck, Grouse, Hawk, and Swallow.
Meaning Of Partridge And Munster In NYT Connections
Most players, including myself, mistook Partridge for a bird name and placed it in the green group.
Although you’re not wrong, Connections includes words with multiple meanings to mislead players into grouping them incorrectly.
Partridge refers to The Partridge Family, a TV sitcom, just as Griffin is the family in Family Guy.
Likewise, Munster and Pickles are families from The Munsters and Rugrats, respectively.
The meaning of this is that Griffin, Munster, Partridge, and Pickles belong to the same group, “TV Comedy Families” in NYT Connections.
With only four words remaining, we placed them in a single group to reveal the final category.
Grouping Mart, Pop, Street, and Swiss formed the final category in today’s NYT Connections, titled “Words After ‘K’“
Here is today’s final list of words and themes for NYT Connections, organized by their difficulty levels.
- Dejected (Yellow): Blue, Down, Hangdog, Sorry
- Birds That Are Verbs (Green): Duck, Grouse, Hawk, Swallow
- TV Comedy Families (Blue): Griffin, Munster, Partridge, Pickles
- Words After ‘K’ (Purple): Mart, Pop, Street, Swiss
