NYT Connections #937 features four categories covering army ranks, clothing items, pop songs, and word phrases.
The Blue category highlights Rihanna’s four chart-topping hits, making music knowledge essential for solving.
The Purple group is the toughest, requiring players to form common phrases using the word ‘wet.’
NYT Connections #937 challenges players to organize 16 words into four logical groups based on shared traits. As always, the puzzle increases in difficulty from Yellow (easy) to Purple (hard). Today’s mix draws from military terms, fashion vocabulary, music knowledge, and phrase-based wordplay, offering a balanced but clever mental workout.
Here are the four categories with brief clues to guide you:
Yellow: Military titles
Green: Types of legwear
Blue: Songs by a Barbadian pop star
Purple: Words commonly following “wet.”
Use these hints if you’re stuck:
Yellow (Easy): Think of ranks you might hear in an army setting.
Green: These are clothing items worn below the waist.
Blue: All answers are number-one hits by the same singer.
Purple (Hard): Add the word ‘wet’ before each answer to form common phrases.

Here are the correct groupings for today’s puzzle:
Yellow – Army ranks: Captain, General, Major, Private
Green – Legwear in the singular: Jean, Jogger, Overall, Slack
Blue – Rihanna #1 hits: Diamonds, SOS, Umbrella, Work
Purple – Wet ____: Bar, Blanket, Nurse, Willy
Today’s Connections puzzle mixed straightforward logic with clever misdirection. The Yellow and Green categories were relatively easy to spot, especially for players familiar with basic military terms and clothing names.
The Blue category rewarded pop music fans who recognized Rihanna’s chart-topping tracks, while the Purple group required careful thought about common expressions. Words like “bar” or “blanket” could easily mislead players unless paired correctly with “wet,” making the final group the most challenging.
