NYT Puzzle Solutions Revealed: Clues and Responses for August 14, 2025
Dive into the world of Connections, a popular word game from The New York Times that tests your vocabulary, logic, pattern recognition, and lateral thinking. Each day, you're presented with a grid of 16 words, and the objective is to sort them into four distinct groups of four words each, where the words in each group share a common thread [1][2][3].
The common threads can be synonyms, antonyms, wordplay (e.g., palindromes, homophones), or shared themes like household items or categories. Upon correctly selecting a group, the game reveals the category and assigns a difficulty level to that group, ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest) [3].
Players have up to four mistakes before the game ends. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, but don't worry - you can rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier [4]. Just like Wordle, you can share your results on social media and compare your progress with friends [6].
Today's categories for Connections are yet to be revealed, but hints are available for four categories: "Butt", "Sporting equipment", "Wedding day essentials", and "They sound similar".
Once you've solved today's Connections, you can check your answers against the solution provided. For those who missed the game or want to test their answers, the solution is available [7].
In addition to Connections, the website offers a games hub with various puzzles, including Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more, ensuring that there's always a challenge to keep your mind sharp [8].
Connections is created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu and can be played on web browsers and mobile devices, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy this daily brain teaser [9]. So, are you ready to take on the Connections challenge? Let's get started!
