If you’re looking for guidance on cracking today’s Connections puzzle, you’re in the right place. This puzzle presented a moderate level of challenge; I managed to identify two categories swiftly but then encountered some roadblocks. If you’re facing similar difficulties, don’t worry; I’m here to offer hints tailored to your current stage of the puzzle.
Another engaging game from the New York Times that I adore is the daily Letter Boxed puzzle. While it is certainly challenging, I find its rhythmic nature quite captivating. Much of the gameplay involves revisiting prior attempts, creating a unique flow that draws me into the experience. Although I enjoy various daily puzzles, Letter Boxed holds a special place among them.
Today’s Connections Category Hints

Today’s puzzle can indeed be tough to navigate, and I understand the struggle; I faced it too. The initial segments seemed quite straightforward, but the latter part was a bit trickier. To facilitate your journey through the puzzle, I’ve curated four helpful hints:
- A category involves items commonly found on a wall.
- Another category consists of objects frequently encountered in a store with various essentials.
- One category includes items sharing a common feature, though their appearances vary.
- The final category includes four words that follow a specific word seen daily.
While category names often assist in narrowing down options, there are times when they can be less reliable, particularly when distinguishing between two similar words.

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained
| PRINTED NOTIFICATION | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ANNOUNCEMENT | BULLETIN | NOTICE | POSTER |
These items spark my creativity, especially as I explore different designs. While crafting a NOTICE lacks the excitement of the others, each serves its purpose. One common pitfall is confusing the term FOLDER with this category, which delayed my progress significantly.

|---|---|---|---|
| CONVEYOR BELT | REGISTER | SCALE | SCANNER |
I managed to identify this category first, partly because seeing the term REGISTER alongside SCALE made it more recognizable. The ambiguity of REGISTER could lead to various associations, further complicating the choices with FOLDER creeping into my thought process.
Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained
| THINGS WITH TABS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| BROWSER | FOLDER | KEYBOARD | SODA CAN |
This is where FOLDER truly fits, even though it can be misleading initially. While I grouped three of these answers earlier, SODA CAN is surprisingly appropriate given its unique classification criteria. If you are not attentive to the characteristics of these items, it could just as easily lead you astray with incorrect assumptions.
