The New York Times’ Connections, in a nutshell, gives you 16 different words and your goal is to sort them into four secret categories. Pick four words or phrases that could be related and, if correct, it will group them into their common association, or connection, if you will. Each category has its own color, with Yellow being the easiest to solve, then Green, Blue, and the hardest, Purple. The categories can range from monikers in royalty or Sonic the Hedgehog characters to words that sound differently than how they’re spelled or 1930s lingo. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed.
With today’s Connections, we have a solid lineup of words that cover a few bases but may not provide the easy route to figure them out right away. Something to keep in mind for puzzles like today’s is that many of the words usually have multiple meanings, so pay attention to them as you see any matches. The words in today’s Connections are as follows: Present, Caper, Elder, Roman, Logan, Swipe, Pocket, Typewriter, Goose, Sans, Absent, Pinch, Late, Gothic, Nick, and Excused.
