The New York Times has multiple daily puzzle games, but none is probably harder than NYT Connections. NYT Connections presents a new challenge every day, but this game is pretty different from Wordle or Strands. In this game, players are tasked with identifying four groups of four words that share a common theme. Now, the twist is that the theme is not stated initially, and once players choose four right words, the game will reveal the theme of that set. So, each day Connections has four different themes. This word puzzle tests the vocabulary of one.
NYT Connections was launched in 2023, and soon, it created a fan base for its unique playing style. The gameplay method of this word puzzle has attracted word puzzle enthusiasts. 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. The format is unique and presents new challenges every day to test the vocabulary of word puzzle lovers.
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.
This puzzle is tricky, but some clues may make things easier for gamers. Here are some hints to assist players in solving today’s puzzle. Let's start with the hints category-wise:
1. Easiest Group (Yellow): Today’s yellow group words are connected to accessories or devices connected to musical instruments.
2. Moderate Group (Green): This group will contain words that represent small objects with little value.
3. Challenging Group (Blue): This group will have four words that have the prefix that means ‘Three.’
4. Most Difficult Group (Purple): This is the final category, and these words have their abbreviations starting with T.
With the given hints, hopefully, players have already arranged the given words in a proper way to solve the NYT Connections of March 22, 2025. If there is still some confusion about making categories, below are the solutions for today's Connections:
Yellow Category (Musical Instruments): TAMBOURINE, THEREMIN, TIMPANI, TROMBONE
Green Category (Knickknack): TCHOTCHKE, THINGAMAJIG, TRIFLE, TRINKET
Blue Category (Words With The Prefix Meaning "Three"): TRIANGLE, TRIDENT, TRILLION, TRILOBITE
Purple Category (Words Abbreviated With "T" + Letter): TELEVISION, TOUCHDOWN, TRADEMARK, TUBERCULOSIS
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!
NYT Connections is unique, and that’s because it has themes but not a single one. Players must make the four categories considering these themes. Basically, the connection between these words is the theme. So, 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.
