NYT Connections: Clues and Solutions for Sunday, May 26

The New York Times has launched a new puzzle game called Connections, where players must categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying how they relate to each other. Similar to Wordle, the game resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty.

Players are challenged to organize the words into sets of four by recognizing the connections between them. Each set is color-coded, with the yellow group being the easiest and the purple group being the most challenging. Players can shuffle the grid of words to help visualize the connections better.

If players are stuck on today’s puzzle, they can receive hints revealing the themes of the groups. For example, today’s themes include “Found on a Stove Top,” “Ornamental Border,” “Deposit, with ‘Down,'” and “Words that Sound like Plural Letters.” One-word reveals are also provided to assist players in solving the puzzle.

The objective is to select four words and submit them. If correct, the words will be removed from the grid, and the connecting theme will be revealed. Players have a limited number of mistakes before the game ends.

The game is designed to be challenging, with grids changing daily. If players are unable to solve today’s puzzle, they can try again tomorrow for a new challenge. Connections offers a fun and engaging way to test your word association skills and compete with friends.
