Connections is a New York Times word game that's all about finding the "common threads between words." How to solve the puzzle.
Today's NYT Connections puzzle presents players with four categories to identify words that share common threads. The categories are Yellow: Quaint expressions of excitement, Green: Convey, Blue: Words abbreviated with letters as homophones, and Purple: Safety. Each category contains four words, and the ultimate goal is to successfully group all four words within a set.
In the Yellow category, players must identify words representing expressions of excitement. The correct answers are HOT DOG, HURRAH, WHOOPEE, and YAHOO.

Lastly, the Purple category asks players to find safety-related words. The appropriate responses include BELT, GOGGLES, PIN, and RAZOR.
By correctly identifying these words within their respective categories, players can clear the board and progress in the game.
