NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for September 25, 2026

The NYT Connections puzzle for September 25, 2026 is a lesser challenging one, especially for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Connections is a popular New York Times word game that has captured the public's attention by finding common threads between words. Like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words becomes increasingly difficult.

Here are some hints and tips for today's Connections puzzle:

Yellow: Luxe - Ooo la la!

Green: Parts of a mechanical clock - Tick tock

Blue: Famous Dans - Same names

Purple: Taxonomic ranks plus a letter - Classification

The categories for today's puzzle are as follows:

- Luxe: BOUGIE, FANCY, POSH, SWANK

- Parts of a mechanical clock: ESCAPEMENT, PENDULUM, RATCHET, SPRING

- Famous Dans: AYKROYD, LEVY, RATHER, SAVAGE

- Taxonomic ranks plus a letter: BORDER, CLASSY, FOAMILY, GENIUS

Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Each group of words is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Players get up to four mistakes before the game ends, and correct answers are removed from the board. If a player gets all four words in a set correct, they are removed from the board. Players can share their results on social media like Wordle.
