“Connections” is the latest word game from the New York Times that has gained public interest. The game challenges players to find the “common threads between words.” Similar to “Wordle,” “Connections” resets after midnight, presenting a new set of increasingly difficult words daily. This article offers hints and strategies to help players manage the game’s challenges.
For those seeking today’s puzzle solution, the answer for October 27 is provided at the end of the article. However, players wishing to solve the puzzle independently can continue reading for guidance.
The New York Times’ recently introduced daily word game has become a popular topic on social media. The publication credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with assisting in the creation of the new word game for their Games section. “Connections” can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices, and it requires players to group four words with a common link.
Each puzzle consists of 16 words divided into four categories. These could include book titles, software, country names, among others. Although multiple words might appear to fit together, only one correct answer exists.
When a player successfully groups all four words in a set, those words are removed from the board. An incorrect guess counts as a mistake, and players are allowed up to four errors before the game concludes. Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to facilitate finding connections. Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. As with “Wordle,” players can share their results on social media.
Today’s “Connections” categories include: Yellow for “Sassy,” Green for “Ambience,” Blue for “Units,” and Purple for “The Little____.”
The answers for today’s “Connections” #503 are as follows:
– Sassy: CUTE, FRESH, SMART, WISE
– Ambience: AIR, FEELING, MOOD, QUALITY
– Units: BAR, BELL, LUX, MOLE
– The Little____: MERMAID, PRINCE, RASCALS, TRAMP
Those who did not succeed in guessing correctly have the opportunity to challenge their minds with new “Connections” tomorrow, for which more hints and assistance will be provided.
