NYT Connections hints and answers for March 13, 2025
Connections is one of the most popular word games from The New York Times. It’s a game where you find the “common links between words.” Like Wordle, Connections resets every day at midnight, and each new puzzle gets harder. Don’t worry, we’ve got some hints and tips to help you out today.
If you just want the answer to today’s puzzle, you can skip to the end of this article. But if you want to solve it yourself, keep reading for clues, tips, and strategies.
What is Connections?
Connections is a daily word game that has become a big hit on social media. The game was created by Wyna Liu, an associate puzzle editor at The New York Times. You can play it on your computer or phone. The goal is to group four words that share something in common.
Each puzzle has 16 words, divided into four categories. These categories can be anything—book titles, software, country names, and more. Even though some words might seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer for each group.
If you get all four words in a group right, those words disappear from the board. If you guess wrong, it counts as a mistake. You can make up to four mistakes before the game ends.
You can also shuffle the words on the board to make it easier to spot connections. Each group is color-coded: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share your results with friends on social media.
