Can’t crack today’s NYT Connections puzzle? There is a unique word each day, and the challenge is to find the shared theme between words. Hints and insights become invaluable when puzzles get tougher. In other words, this is all you’ll need to solve today’s Connections #548.
New York Times’ latest hit word game is NYT Connections. It seeks to pair 16 words into four sets based on similar topics. The idea is simple, but the puzzles tend to be a mix of tricky overlaps that get progressively more difficult to solve. Today’s puzzle reset at midnight and brought a new batch of word. These solutions come, and finally, after many attempts, they sit below.
