We’ve got you covered, as we have all of the correct words and categories, alongside some hints and tips, for today, April 25th’s Connections from The New York Times. Connections differs from its fellow NYT games like Strands, Crosswords, and Wordle with its category-based gameplay, versatile words, and interesting categories. For today’s puzzle, we continue the streak of fairly easy categories, despite some rather out-there words to choose from. Fortunately, we at ComicBook have played today’s puzzle and have everything, like the correct answers and hints, that you’ll need to solve today’s Connections.

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 last names of action stars or types of peppers to words that go before face or characters from Annie. You only get four turns to get it right and, if you run out, you lose your streak and the categories are revealed. 

In terms of today’s Connections, we have some words that are rather long, which can trip you up if you don’t know the meanings.
