Hey, folks! Welcome to the start of a new week! I hope it’s an excellent one for you. I think today’s song recommendation will help make sure you’re in a good mood.
Ttoday’s NYT Connections hints and answers are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app.
You’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

I found this to be a relatively breezy start to the week. As soon as I saw DOROTHY, my mind instantly went to The Wizard of Oz and by the time I’d finished copying out the word list, I had figured out the blues. The yellows were very straightforward too.
I didn’t know what AMBERGRIS was, but I deduced the rest of the greens and that one seemed to make the most sense with them. I didn’t figure out the purple group, somewhat shamefully. For the record, the cities referred to are Quito, Rome, Sofia and Seoul.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Tuesday’s game if you need them.
P.S. Here’s a cool song I just heard for the first time. Apple Music’s autoplay feature spun it for me after I finished listening to something else on Sunday morning. It’s actually a pretty stellar Sunday morning tune. I think it works just as well as a song to start your week with:
