I need an answer to The New York Times Connection Puzzle? To me, Wordle is more of a vocabulary test, while Connections is more of a brain teaser. You are given 16 words and asked to divide them into four groups that are somehow connected. Sometimes it is obvious, but game editor Wyna Liu knows how to trick you by using words that can fit into multiple groups.
And do you play Wordle too? Here are today’s Wordle answers and hints.
We’ll also give you today’s answers and some general tips for The Times’ new game, Strand, which has moved out of beta and onto the NYT Games app.

How to play Connections
Easy to play. Hard to win. Look at the 16 words and mentally divide them into related groups of four. Click on the four words that you think go together. The groups are color-coded, but you won’t know where they are until you see the answer. The yellow group is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple, which are the hardest. Look at the words carefully and think about the related terms. Sometimes the connections are related to parts of the word. At one time, the four words were grouped because they started out as names of rock bands, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
