The week comes to an end with a fairly simple Connections puzzle that I don’t think will cause people too many problems. But it’s all relative, and you still might want some hints to help you solve it; if you do, scroll down for them.
What should you do once you’ve finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I’ve also got daily Wordle hints and answers , Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those too.
SPOILER WARNING: Information about NYT Connections today is below, so don’t read on if you don’t want to know the answers.

I again solved this Connections puzzle in a non-standard order, somewhat by accident. I did begin with yellow, the ‘easy’ one, because the likes of CONCEIVE and ENVISION immediately stood out as being part of a set. But next up I went for what turned out to be the purple puzzle – VERBS FOR A SOFTWARE ENGINEER. I’m surprised this was deemed to be the most difficult of the four, because CODE, DEVELOP, HACK and PROGRAM are all readily associated with the theme.
Neither green or blue caused me any particular problems either, and for once I truly ‘got’ all four, because I knew what the final (green) connection was before I actually selected it.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
