<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em>The New York Times&rsquo; daily word puzzle, Connections, is back for Friday, January 30, and today&rsquo;s grid had a nice balance of easy and tricky ideas. As always, players were given 16 words and asked to sort them into four groups of four. Each group shared a hidden link, but the game also included misleading words that could easily send you in the wrong direction.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, Connections resets every day and has become a favourite for players who enjoy spotting patterns and thinking carefully before tapping their answers. If today&rsquo;s puzzle slowed you down, here&rsquo;s a full and simple breakdown with hints and solutions.</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 game from The New York Times. You see 16 words on the screen. Your goal is to put them into four groups, with four words in each group. Every group has one shared idea or meaning.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The tricky part is that some words look like they belong together, but they don&rsquo;t. These are placed on purpose to confuse you. You can only make four mistakes. If you make a fourth wrong guess, the game ends and the answers show up.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Each group also has a colour that shows how hard it is:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is the easiest</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is easy</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is medium</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Purple </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>is the hardest</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>You can shuffle the words to see them in a new order, and once you finish, you can share your results online.</span></p>
