NYT Connections Hints for July 23, 2026

The NYT Connections puzzle is not too hard if you play often.

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

You can see today's puzzle answer at the end of this article. Or, keep reading for clues and tips to help you solve it.

The NYT's new word game is a social media hit. Wyna Liu helped create it. You can play on the web or on your phone. You group four words that have something in common.

Each puzzle has 16 words in four groups. These groups can be about book titles, software, or country names. Only one answer is correct, even if many words seem to fit.

If you get all four words in a group right, they disappear from the board. If you guess wrong, it's a mistake. You can make up to four mistakes.

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

Want a hint about the groups without knowing what they are? Try these:

Yellow means something is rounded.

Green is about being nervous.

Blue is about flying.

Purple is about math words.

Meet the people who are changing the internet.
