NYT Connections is a daily word puzzle challenging players to group 16 words into four themed sets. It tests vocabulary skills by requiring players to discover hidden links without revealed themes.
The New York Times has some of the most interesting puzzles to solve. Undoubtedly NYT Connections come to the list. The most interesting part about Connections is that this game is different from Wordle or Strands. That’s what makes it unique and challenging.
Here, players need to identify words that share a common theme. With these words, they need to form four sets to solve the puzzle. Now, the themes are not initially revealed; once players choose the right words, only then will they get to know the theme of that set. Therefore, this puzzle challenges the vocabulary of the players everyday.
Today’s NYT Connections’ difficulty is 3.3 out of 5. So, the puzzle will be tricky for sure. Well, don’t get scared, here are the clues to identify the word sets without much struggle. Let's start with the hints category-wise:
1. Easiest Group (Yellow): Today’s yellow group words are connected to varieties of color.
2. Moderate Group (Green): This group will contain words that are associated with lands or areas that are found between mountains.
3. Challenging Group (Blue): This group will have four words that indicate person surnames with the same first name.
4. Most Difficult Group (Purple): This is the final category, and these words will be colors when players rearrange them.
With the given hints, hopefully, players have already arranged the given words in a proper way to solve the NYT Connections of April 26, 2025. If there is still some confusion about making categories, below are the solutions for today's Connections:
Yellow Category (TINT): COLOR, HUE, SHADE, TONE
Green Category (VALLEY): DALE, DELL, GLEN, HOLLOW
Blue Category (BOBS): DOLE, HOPE, MARLEY, ROSS
Purple Category (COLOR ANAGRAMS): DRE, GARY, GENRE, LUBE
These are the four categories for today’s puzzle, and hopefully, most players have guessed the word sets without the answer. So, congratulations to all who have solved it!
Unlike traditional crosswords or word searches, NYT Connections asks players to figure out subtle links between the given words and form four groups of four. Connections presents a grid of 16 words, and the objective is to group these words into four sets of four words. The twist is that each set must be formed while maintaining a certain theme. To solve this puzzle, players must be aware of the connection between particular words.
NYT Connections is a unique word puzzle, and that’s because it has themes but not a single one. Every day, players get four different themes to form the four groups. Without a sound knowledge of the connection between words, there’s no way one can guess the exact word groups without help. The solution doesn’t only provide players with a satisfying experience but also enriches their vocabulary.
