NYT Connections Hints for August 13, 2026

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too hard if you travel by air.

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

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

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 can be book titles, software, or country names. Only one answer is correct.

If you get all four words right, they disappear from the board. If not, it's a mistake. You can make four mistakes before the game ends.

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

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

Yellow means to keep going.

Green means to move slowly.

Blue is about airline rewards.

Purple is about things that are cold.
