<p><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The New York Times&rsquo; daily word puzzle, Connections, is back with its Wednesday, February 4 challenge, and today&rsquo;s game had plenty of tricky moments. Players once again had to sort 16 words into four hidden groups. While some links felt clear, others were designed to confuse you on purpose.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, Connections resets every day and keeps players hooked with clever word choices and sneaky traps. If today&rsquo;s puzzle slowed you down, here is a full guide with hints and the final answers.</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 word game where you are given 16 words and must divide them into four groups of four. Each group shares a common idea or theme. Every word fits into only one group, which makes guessing tricky.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>For example, words may look related but belong in different groups. This is done to mislead players. You are allowed only four wrong guesses. Once you make the fourth mistake, the game ends and the answers are shown.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Each group also has a difficulty colour:</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;”>The goal is to spot patterns, ignore distractions, and think carefully before locking in a group.</span></p>

</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Today&rsquo;s puzzle played heavily with word meanings and misleading pairings. Many players were thrown off by words like &ldquo;War&rdquo; and &ldquo;Conflict,&rdquo; which felt connected but were placed in different groups. The purple group was especially tricky unless you spotted the NBA team names hiding at the start of each word. Overall, a smart and layered Connections puzzle.</span></p>
