The NYT's "Connections" Puzzle: A Mid-Tier Challenge for Your Sunday Funday
November is finally here, bringing with it a lovely weekend to cozy up on the couch. However, if you're anything like me, who lives in Arizona and doesn't bother with daylight saving time, your Sunday vibes might be disrupted by a puzzle that's more challenging than a typical weeknight brain teaser.
Enter the NYT's "Connections" puzzle, a daily game that groups 16 words into four categories of four. Sounds simple enough? Think again. The catch is that there's only one set of correct answers, and you have limited tries to figure it out before you're done for the day.
To help you get started, we've got some extra hints, category clues, and – of course – the full solutions right here. So grab a cuppa, put on your thinking cap, and let's dive into today's puzzle.
**The Puzzle Board:**
Here are this Sunday's words:
* GEM
* LOAD
* FAWN
* SWEAT
* CARGO
* TAN
* SAG
* CRAMP
* HAUL
* AQUA
* REDDEN
* CAMEL
* FREIGHT
* PANT
* KHAAKI
* CAPRI
**Group Clues:**
And here are the hints that'll get you started:
* Yellow group: Logistics (think shipping goods)
* Blue group: You worked out hard and it shows
* Green group: Beige-adjacent colors
* Purple group: Astrology, abbreviated
But don't take our word for it! Let's dive into what each group looks like.
**Yellow Group:**
Cargo, Freight, Haul, Load – need we say more? These words are all about transporting goods.
**Blue Group:**
CRAMP, PANT, REDDEN, SWEAT – this one's a bit tougher. But once you figure out the connection, it's pretty obvious.
**Green Group:**
CAMEL, FAWN, KHAKI, TAN – these words are all light brown shades. Not too tricky, but still fun to solve!
**Purple Group:**
AQUArius, CAPRIcorn, GEMini, SAGitarius – yes, you read that right! These words are the beginnings of astrological signs.
And there you have it! The full solutions for today's puzzle. Not too easy, not too hard – just a solid mid-tier challenge to keep your brain engaged on a Sunday afternoon.

. Who thought it was a good idea to make something called a 'challenge' when it's literally just a bunch of words grouped together with some vague hints? I mean, come on, astrological signs as categories? It's like they're trying to be clever but really they're just being lazy 
. And don't even get me started on how annoying the "limited tries" thing is. Just give us the answers already and let us move on with our lives 
.
. Got my brain buzzing trying to figure out the connections 
. Yellow group makes sense, logistics all day long 
. Blue group was harder to crack, had to think about why CRAMP and PANT would fit together 
. Green group easy peasy, just thought of tan and khaki clothes 
. And purple group... wow, astrology abbreviations? 
Still stumped on that one 
. Anyone else give it a shot?
gotta try to figure it out with all those hints 
the NYT's "Connections" puzzle is so clever! I love how it challenges you to figure out connections between seemingly unrelated words. The logistics group was my favorite - who knew cargo, freight, and haul were all related? 
. i love that there are hints and solutions available too, it's great for when you're stuck 
Who would've thought that words like GEM and AQUA could be grouped into categories with hints like Logistics and Astrology? 
It just goes to show that even the simplest things can have complex connections (pun intended)! 
its so good that nyt came up with a new one tho lol 16 words is kinda alot tho, cant say im lookin forward to tryna solve it on sunday 
think they made it hard enough though, not too easy 4 me atleast 
. also i like how the blue group is called "u worked out hard and it shows" lol wudnt think thats a legit clue 
. but seriously, astrological signs as purple group? that's genius 
.
