NYT Connections Answers: If today’s Connections puzzle from The New York Times has left you scratching your head, you’re not alone. The April 10 edition brought a particularly sneaky set of words to sort, with clever red herrings and linguistic twists designed to derail even the sharpest minds. But don’t worry — whether you’re stuck on the fourth try or just looking for a nudge in the right direction, we’ve broken it all down for you.

Yellow: Seeing Yellow — Literally

The easiest group to guess today may have been the most visually obvious: “Canary,” “Gold,” “Lemon,” and “Mustard.” All of these are different shades of yellow, a group that was as cheerful as it was straightforward. It aligned with the Yellow category, traditionally the simplest to identify in the Connections game.

Today's yellow-themed clue gave players a decent starting point:
Hint: “These are technically all the same colour.”

So if you trusted your inner designer or artist’s palette, you probably nailed this one early.

Green: A Wealth of Words

Moving on to the Green group, things took a more resourceful turn. The four words—“Mine,” “Reserve,” “Store,” and “Well”—were all linked by the idea of supply.

The clue here was:
Hint: “Words used to refer to a large collection of resources.”

From natural deposits to strategic backups, this set was all about abundance. And yes, “Well” wasn’t about feeling good—it was a nod to underground water sources.

Blue: A Very Scrooge-Like Set

The Blue group leaned into some anti-Christmas sentiment. With “Bah,” “Coal,” “Grinch,” and “Naughty” forming the category “Anti-Spirit of Christmas,” this set was custom-built for fans of A Christmas Carol and the Grinch universe.

The hint?
Clue: “Think of Scrooge.”

Not exactly the holiday spirit, but definitely a fun and festive twist for puzzle solvers who enjoy a little seasonal cynicism.

Purple: Español Enters the Chat

The most challenging category — the Purple group — took a bilingual turn. “Ella,” “Gusto,” “Mayo,” and “Soy” were the words in question, and the category turned out to be “Spanish Words.”

This was backed by the clue:
Hint: “From Español, technically.”

It was tricky, especially since “Mayo” could easily have been lumped in with condiments, but as the game teased: “Mustard is in a different group than Mayo and Soy.” That small detail made all the difference in separating your sandwich spread from your Spanish vocab list.

Today’s Final Connections Breakdown (April 10):

• Yellow (Shades Of Yellow): Canary, Gold, Lemon, Mustard
• Green (Supply): Mine, Reserve, Store, Well
• Blue (Anti-Spirit Of Christmas): Bah, Coal, Grinch, Naughty
