ForbesToday’s NYT “Connections” tips and answers for Friday, September 27thFrom Kris Holt

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend. I hope you’re wearing a party outfit, cozy loungewear, or whatever else makes you comfortable and happy.

Today NYT Connections Hints and answers are coming soon.

How to play connections

Connections is a free, popular one New York Times daily pun. You will receive a new puzzle every day at midnight. You can play on that NYT Website or gaming app.

You will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to divide them into four groups of four by figuring out the connections between them. The groups can be items you can click on, names of research participants, or words preceded by a body part.

Each puzzle has only one solution and you need to be careful when it comes to words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to perhaps better see the connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often contains puns.

Select four words that you think go together and click Send. If you guess and are wrong, you lose a life. When you’re close to finding the right group, you may see a message saying you’re one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which word to swap.

If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let’s make sure that this doesn’t happen with the help of some tips, and if you really find it difficult, even with today’s ones Connections Answer. Like with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

This is your final warning!

Today Connections Answers are…

• Yellow group – composite (BLEND, COMPOUND, CROSS, HYBRID)
• Green group – embed (LODGE, PLANT, STICK, WEDGE)
• Blue group – elements in a monopoly Box (certificate, hotel, house, token)
• Purple Group – ____ Control (BIRTH, CRUISE, QUALITY, REMOTE)

It wasn’t a perfect game today, but I was happy to have two wins in a row. This is what happened to me:

🟨🟨🟨🟨

🟩🟩🟩🟩

🟪🟪🟪🟪

I recognized the yellow group immediately because HYBRID and COMPOUND were sitting next to each other on the first starting grid. My next guess, however, was way off base. LODGE, HOUSE, CRUISE and HOTEL didn’t even separate me from a group, but I started thinking about how else they could be grouped.

LODGE and WEDGE helped me figure out the greens. Afterwards, the rearranged grid placed the four shades of purple practically together in the middle. That left the Blues with a win that I hadn’t figured out the connection to before submitting.

That’s all for today Connections Hints and answers. Be sure to check out my blog for tips and the solution for Sunday’s game if you need them.
