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.

You can see today's puzzle answer at the end of this article. Or, keep reading for clues 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.

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

If you get a group right, those words disappear. If you get it 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 is easy, green is next, then blue and purple. You can share your results on social media.

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

Yellow is about music.

Green is about being involved.

Blue is about family.

Purple is about older people.
