  "account": "Today's NYT Connections puzzle is not too difficult for those who appreciate bells. The game, which has become a social media hit, challenges players to find common threads between 16 words divided into four categories. The categories are color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple being the most challenging. Today's categories are Mess (With), Parts of the Ear, Bell-shaped things and places, and simply Bell-shaped things. If you group four words that share a common theme, those words are removed from the board. Players have four mistakes before the game ends. Here are the answers for today's Connections puzzle: Mess (With) - FIDDLE, MEDDLE, TINKER, TRIFLE; Parts of the Ear - ANVIL, CANAL, DRUM, STIRRUP; Bell-shaped things and places - DIVING, JINGLE, LIBERTY, TACO; Bell-shaped things - BOTTOMS, JAR, PEPPER, TOWER.",
