Wordle today: Answer, hints for September 7, 2026

Today's NYT Connections puzzle, numbered #1179, offers a moderate level of challenge for those who enjoy word games. Connections is a popular game from The New York Times that requires players to identify common connections between 16 given words. The game is reset every midnight and becomes progressively more difficult with each new set of words.

To assist players, the New York Times has provided some hints for today's puzzle. For the yellow category, the hint suggests looking for "what an account." The green category's clue is "chest support." The blue category hints at "fresh scents," while the purple category advises players to think of "animated friends."

Here's a breakdown of today's Connections categories and their answers:

Yellow: Quite the saga - FABRICATION, FISH STORY, TALL TALE, YARN

Green: Parts of a bra - CUP, HOOK, STRAP, UNDERWIRE

Associated with pine trees - CAR AIR FRESHENER, CHRISTMAS, NEEDLES, TURPENTINE

Starting with Disney characters - PLUTONIUM, SCAR TISSUE, STITCH MARKER, TRAMPOLINE

Players are encouraged to share their results on social media and can also rearrange and shuffle the board to aid in spotting connections. As with other word games, incorrect guesses count as mistakes, but players have up to four mistakes before the game ends.

In case players need more help, the New York Times offers a Big Guessing Game with the chance to win a new Apple Watch. Remember to check back for the solution to today's puzzle, presented at the end of the article, before revealing the answer.
