Connections is a popular New York Times word game. It's about finding common words. Like Wordle, it gets harder each day, so we have hints to help.

You can see today's puzzle answer at the end. Or, keep reading for clues and tips to solve it yourself.

The NYT's new word game is a hit on social media. Wyna Liu helped create it. You can play on the web or on your phone.

Each puzzle has 16 words in four groups. These can be book titles, country names, or more. Only one answer is correct.

If you get four words right, they disappear. If you're wrong, it's a mistake. You can make four mistakes.

You can move the words around to make it easier. Each group has a color: yellow, green, blue, or purple. You can share your results on social media.

Want a hint about the groups without knowing them? Try these:

Yellow: Sale items

Green: A little

Blue: Phone talk

Purple: I see
