Look no further, as we have everything you need, from the correct answers and categories to a couple of hints and tips, all for today, April 2nd’s Connections from The New York Times. Compared to its counterparts Strands and Wordle, Connections is all about the challenge with its engaging category-sorting gameplay. While not as hard as yesterday’s April Fool’s puzzle, today’s game delivers on the difficulty, at least with its categories. Lucky for you, we at ComicBook have all of the correct answers, categories, and hints for today’s Connections.

Connections, in a nutshell, gives you 16 different words and asks you to sort them into four secret categories. Choose 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 Super Mario Bros. characters or chicken wing flavors to one-word Oscar-winning Best Pictures or numbers seen in the equation 𝜋. You only get four chances to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed. 

Today’s Connections has some interesting word choices and even more intriguing categories this time around. When it comes to puzzles like these, remember that these words usually have multiple meanings, so pay attention to them as you see any matches.
