NYT’s Popular Connections Puzzle Features Challenging Themes in Latest Edition

The March 19 Connections puzzle (#647) offers players a fresh test of logic and word association with four distinct categories and color-coded difficulty levels.

  • Connections, launched by The New York Times in June 2023, is now the newspaper's second-most-played game after Wordle.
  • The March 19 puzzle (#647) challenges players to group 16 words into four categories: Signify, Web Browser Buttons, Parts of a Road, and À/A La ___.
  • The color-coded difficulty system assigns Yellow as the easiest category, followed by Green, Blue, and Purple as the hardest.
  • The puzzle was designed by Wyna Liu, who creates each board from scratch, drawing inspiration from her notebook and refining the themes over time.
  • Hints for today's puzzle included clues like 'Indicate, denote' for the Yellow category and 'Computer actions' for the Green category.
