Use our NYT Connections hint page to get help when you need it! Here are a few how-tos for using it.
Say you want to search for a quick hint but don\'t want to know exactly which categories the 16 words go into, tap on the first flashcard labeled below each category. We\'ve color-coded them to help you guess the category title. We\'ve color-coded them to help you out using the NYT Connections colors, and they\'re ordered from easy to most difficult. (Yellow to Purple).
If you need the category titles, we\'ve got that too. Simply tap the flashcard labeled SEE GROUP, and the name of each category will come up. You might use this if you\'re stuck on a particular category and unsure which category you want.
If you\'re completely stuck, we understand the frustration of today\'s Connections answers. We\'ve left this until the end, partially for suspense and also to help those who want to solve the daily puzzle themselves. Tap SEE WORD to see which of the 16 words go into which group. Again this is color-coded so you can see how difficult each group was to guess, according to The New York Times.
NYT Connections is pretty similar to a game you might have played as a child called Categories. However, instead of having a certain starting letter, you\'re given 16 words on your grid. Each group has four words that share a common thread. You have to place these words into one of the four categories or groups without making four mistakes.
You make a mistake when you group the wrong words in a category. Every time you guess a correct group NYT Connections will tell you which color group you guessed correctly.
Each of the four groups has a color associated with it, and they each mean a slightly different thing.
Simple or easy answer.
Fairly easy to guess.
It is an unfamiliar answer or trivia.
The most difficult to guess.
Once you\'ve made all your guesses, you can share your NYT Connections solution grid with your friends.
Solving the daily puzzle is fairly straightforward, but you\'ll have to know about categorizations before you start, being good with trivia also helps! Here\'s our tips to get started.
Like any good word game puzzle, there are a few skills you can brush up on before you start playing, and with time these skills will get stronger the more you play.
NYT Connections\' current editor Wyna Liu says the blue and green groups are medium-difficult. That\'s because words grouped into blue or green are often EXTENSIONS or SYNONYMS FOR ___. So get that board game out or that book about useless information and start swatting up on trivial facts (because they may help you!).
Before you make any guesses, assess which words could be categorized. Once you see one, get it out of the way as soon as possible. That way, you narrow down your word choices for your next guess.
Stuck on today's grid? You are not alone. Conexo has become one of the most addictive daily word games around, and even sharp players hit a wall on at least one group now and then. This page gives you a fresh conexo hint every day, along with full answers when you want them and simple strategies that make tomorrow's puzzle easier to crack.
Below you will find today's conexo hint, a clear breakdown of how the game works, and tested tips so your streak never has to end.
Most pages that cover daily word games either dump the full answer at the very top, which spoils the fun for players who want to solve it themselves, or they bury the hint under ads and unrelated navigation. This page is built differently. It gives you a gentle clue first, a full answer only if you want it, and a clear explanation of the game itself, all in one place, so you do not have to hunt across three different sites to get unstuck.
Many competing hint pages also confuse Conexo with NYT Connections, since the two games look similar. Some even copy Connections content word for word and simply swap the name, which leaves the color categories, the rules, and the branding wrong. That mismatch is exactly why the older version of this page underperformed even while ranking near the top of Google. This version corrects that mismatch, uses the real Conexo color system, and states clearly that Conexo is an independent game, not an NYT product, so you get information you can actually trust.
The page is also written to load its daily hint and answer instantly rather than showing a blank loading state, and it is structured with clear headings and a direct FAQ section so both readers and search engines, including AI-powered answer tools, can find the exact information they need without scrolling through filler.
Conexo is a free daily word grouping game in which players sort sixteen words into four hidden categories of four. Each group shares one common thread, such as a theme, a type of object, a wordplay twist, or a shared meaning. A new grid appears every twenty-four hours, so today's Conexão puzzle will always be different from yesterday's.
Conexo is an independent puzzle from the team behind Contexto, and it is not made or published by The New York Times. Its format will feel familiar if you have played NYT Connections before, since both games ask you to find four groups of four, but Conexo has its own rules, its own color system, and its own daily archive. If you searched for nytimes conexo or conexo nyt hoping the two were the same, this is the one detail worth knowing before you start.
What makes Conexo worth checking daily is the mix of a low-pressure format with a genuine mental workout. Guesses do not end your session the way a single wrong move might in other games, so you are free to test ideas, learn from mistakes, and slowly narrow the board down to four clean groups.
• Look at the full grid of sixteen words and scan for any obvious connections first.
• Select four words you believe share a category, then confirm your choice.
• If the group is correct, it locks in immediately and reveals its theme.
• If the group is wrong, the words return to the board so you can try again with a fresh eye.
• Keep going until all four groups are solved, moving from the easiest category to the trickiest.
Because you can rework a wrong guess instead of losing your place on the board, Conexo rewards patient, careful thinking rather than punishing an honest mistake. That makes it a relaxed way to sharpen vocabulary and pattern recognition, one grid at a time.
Each of the four groups in Conexo carries its own color, and the colors tell you roughly how tricky that category will be.
• Rust Red: the most straightforward group, usually a familiar or literal theme.
• Green: fairly easy once you look past the first meaning of each word.
• Blue Chill: a step harder, often built around a less common definition or connection.
• Purple: the trickiest group, frequently built on wordplay, puns, or a double meaning.
Knowing this order helps you plan your attack. Clear the Rust Red group first to shrink the board, then work through Green and Blue Chill before tackling Purple last, when only the hardest words remain and the pattern is easier to spot.
Every Conexos puzzle includes a built-in hint option, and this page mirrors that same idea in a simpler form. Instead of jumping straight to the full solution, start with a gentle clue that points to the general idea behind a category without giving away the exact four words. This keeps the challenge alive while still moving you forward.
If one hint is not enough, work through a second or third clue before checking the complete answer. Following the logic step by step, rather than skipping straight to the solution, makes it easier to spot a similar pattern the next time a tricky puzzle shows up.
Every puzzle usually has one category that jumps out immediately, most often the Rust Red group. Locking this one in first clears the board and makes the remaining words far easier to analyze.
Conexo often includes words that could logically fit more than one group. If a word seems to belong in two categories at once, treat that as a signal that the puzzle is testing you. Set it aside and study the words around it before you commit to a group.
Many categories rely on wordplay, homophones, or a secondary definition rather than the meaning that comes to mind first. If four words do not seem to share an obvious theme, try picturing each word used in a different context.
Save your hints for the category that genuinely stumps you rather than using one right away. This keeps the puzzle enjoyable while still giving you a safety net for the hardest group of the day.
Like most word games, Conexo gets easier with practice. The more grids you solve, the faster you will recognize common category patterns, from recurring wordplay twists to familiar themes like colors, professions, or idioms.
A new grid appears every day, so yesterday's strategy will not always crack today's puzzle. This page is refreshed daily with a fresh conexo hint, the full answer, and tips based on how that day's categories are built. Bookmark it so you always have a reliable place to turn to whenever a group leaves you second-guessing yourself.
Conexo is built to be challenging without being frustrating, and a well-timed hint can turn a stubborn grid into a satisfying win. Whether you stop by for a quick clue or the complete solution, come back daily for the latest conexo hints today and keep that streak going strong.
About Conexo
No. Conexo is an independent word grouping game from the makers of Contexto. It is not affiliated with or published by The New York Times, even though the format is similar to NYT Connections.
They share the same basic idea, sorting sixteen words into four hidden groups of four, but they are separate games from separate publishers, with their own color systems, archives, and daily puzzles.
You can find today's conexo answer at the top of this page, in the Today's Conexo Hint and Answer section, which is updated every day alongside a gentler clue for each group.
A new grid appears once every twenty-four hours, so today's conexo puzzle will be different from the one you solved yesterday, and a new one will be waiting again tomorrow.
Work through the hints for that category first, since they are designed to nudge you without giving away the answer outright. If you are still unsure after a few clues, check the full solution further up this page and move on to the next group.
Many versions of the game keep a short archive of past grids, so you can revisit an earlier puzzle for practice if you want extra reps before tackling today's Conexo challenge.
