<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 its Tuesday, January 27 puzzle, and this one is full of clever twists. Players once again had to sort 16 words into four hidden groups. It sounds easy, but the puzzle quickly becomes tricky when words seem to fit in more than one place. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, Connections refreshes every day and keeps players hooked with its mix of logic, pattern spotting, and small surprises. </span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>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 daily word puzzle where you are given 16 words. Your goal is to sort them into four groups of four words. Each group shares a hidden 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 look like they belong together even when they don&rsquo;t. These are called red herrings. You only get four wrong tries. On the fourth mistake, the game ends and the answers are shown.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Each group is also colour-coded by 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 small colour system helps players understand which group is meant to be simpler and which one is meant to trip them up.</span></p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Full Answer for Tuesday, January 27:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow (Quite The Laugh):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Card, Character, Cutup, Joker</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green (NHL Team Member):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Devil, Flyer, Penguin, Ranger</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue (First Words Of Robin Hood Character Names):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Friar, Maid, Robin, Sheriff</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Purple (Starting With Baseball Gear):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Ballroom, Basement, Batmobile, Capstone</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This puzzle was sneaky in a fun way. Many players saw &ldquo;Batmobile&rdquo; and expected a Batman theme, but that was just a trick. The hockey teams helped shape the green group, while the Robin Hood names made the blue group feel like a storybook moment. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The purple group was all about spotting words that start with baseball gear. </span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>It was a smart mix of humour, sports, and wordplay, classic Connections fun.</span></p>
