NYT Connections: Clues and Solutions for Thursday, May 30

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. The game resets every night at midnight, offering a new challenge each day with varying levels of difficulty. Similar to Wordle, players can track their winning streak and compare scores with friends.

In Connections, players are presented with a grid of 16 words and must organize them into four sets of four by recognizing the connections between them. These connections could be based on themes like video game titles, book series sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names. While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer.

Each group is color-coded, with the yellow group being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple. Players can shuffle the grid of words to help visualize potential connections and submit their answers. Correct answers will reveal the theme connecting the words, while incorrect guesses will count as mistakes. Players have only four mistakes available before the game ends.

For those struggling with today’s puzzle, hints and one-word reveals for each theme are provided to assist in solving the Connections puzzle. The game is designed to be challenging, but players can check back daily for new grids and themes to solve.
