The New York Times Connections puzzle often has a fun theme in its purple category. It matches up four different two-word phrases that share one word, like air mail and email. They don’t tell you the shared word, but the other words in each of those phrases end up in the puzzle. There’s one of those today, and you either like the challenge or you tear your hair out over it. Read on for today’s Connections hints and answers.
There’s also news in the Connections world. The Times now has a Connections Bot, like the one it’s had for some time for Wordle. Go there after you play to receive a numeric score and to have the program analyze your answers. Players who are registered with the Times Games section can now nerd out by following their progress, including the number of puzzles they’ve completed, their win rate, the number of times they managed a perfect score and their win streak.
