NYT Connections Archive: Solutions & History

New York Times Top Stories •
×

This archive offers a comprehensive collection of every NYT Connections solution since the game's launch. Each daily puzzle consists of 16 words forming 4 distinct groups, color-coded by difficulty: Yellow (straightforward), Green (moderate), Blue (challenging), and Purple (most difficult). The database allows players to research past puzzles, analyze trends, and find solutions they may have missed.

Explore detailed breakdowns of daily word groupings and their clever connections by clicking any month. Recent solutions from August 2026 are provided, including examples like "LONG CYLINDRICAL THINGS" (POOL NOODLE, FOAM ROLLER, CIGARETTE, PRETZEL ROD) and "THINGS WITH PEDALS" (UNICYCLE, SWAN BOAT, PIANO, SEWING MACHINE).

The game involves finding four groups of four related words. The difficulty levels range from Yellow (easiest, common categories) to Purple (hardest, involving wordplay or obscure references). New puzzles are released daily at midnight, and players have four mistakes allowed. This archive serves as a reference tool for serious Connections players, though it is an independent helper tool and not affiliated with The New York Times.
