NYT Connections Answers Today: The New York Times’ hit puzzle game Connections returned with puzzle #814 on September 1, bringing players another brain-teasing challenge. Like Wordle, it resets daily and asks solvers to group 16 words into four hidden categories. While it may sound straightforward, the clever distractions built into the puzzle often leave even seasoned players scratching their heads. If you’re stuck, don’t worry, we’ve broken down the hints, categories, and today’s full solution.

What is Connections and How Do You Play?

Connections is all about identifying the hidden links between words. Players are presented with 16 options and must divide them into four groups of four. Each set has a common theme, ranging from literature and pop culture to sports or holidays.

The challenge lies in spotting the real connections while ignoring red herrings. Make four incorrect guesses, and the game ends. To help players navigate the puzzle, each group is colour-coded:

  • Yellow (easiest)
  • Green (easy)
  • Blue (moderate)
  • Purple (hardest)

You can also shuffle the board to rearrange words and spot patterns more easily, and like Wordle, results can be shared with friends online.
