<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em>The New York Times&rsquo; daily word game, Connections, is back with a fresh puzzle for Thursday, January 22. As always, players are given 16 words and asked to sort them into four hidden groups. It sounds easy, but the tricky word choices can quickly confuse even regular players.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, Connections refreshes every day and has become a favourite for people who love short brain challenges. If today&rsquo;s grid felt confusing, don&rsquo;t worry, everything you need is right here.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>What Is Connections &amp; How Do You Play?</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Connections is a simple-looking word game with a clever twist. You see 16 words on the screen. Your goal is to place them into four groups of four. Each group shares a common theme.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>For example, &ldquo;Hook,&rdquo; &ldquo;Nana,&rdquo; &ldquo;Peter,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Wendy&rdquo; are all Peter Pan characters. Another example is &ldquo;Action,&rdquo; &ldquo;Ballpark,&rdquo; &ldquo;Go,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Stick,&rdquo; which all come before the word &ldquo;Figure.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The challenge is that many words seem to fit in more than one place. These are called red herrings, and they are meant to trick you. You only get four wrong tries. On the fourth mistake, the game ends and the answers appear.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Each group also has a colour that shows its difficulty:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easiest)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easy)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(medium)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Purple </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(hardest)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>That&rsquo;s what makes Connections fun and frustrating at the same time.</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The purple group was the sneakiest, as it needed you to think of magazine names with an extra letter added. A fun and clever challenge overall.</span></p>
