<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em>The New York Times daily word puzzle, Connections, is back with its February 5 challenge, and today&rsquo;s board had some very clever twists. Players once again had to sort 16 words into four hidden groups. It sounds easy, but the puzzle is built to trick your brain. Some words look like they belong together but don&rsquo;t.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>That&rsquo;s what makes Connections fun and sometimes a bit frustrating, too. Like Wordle, this game resets every day and keeps puzzle fans coming back. If today&rsquo;s set of words confused you, don&rsquo;t worry, here are the hints and the full answers in a simple way.</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 grouping game. You see 16 words on the screen. Your job is to put them into four groups of four words each. Every group shares one common idea. The hard part is that many words can look related even when they are not. These are there to mislead you.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>For instance, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter”, and “Wendy” are all Peter Pan characters. Or to take another example, “Action”, “Ballpark”, “Go”, and “Stick” are all words which commonly come just before the word “Figure”.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>You must find the right themes that connect each set. You are allowed only four mistakes. After the fourth wrong guess, the game ends and the correct groups are shown. Each group also has a colour that shows the difficulty level:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><strong>Yellow</strong> (easiest)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><strong>Green</strong> (easy)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><strong>Blue</strong> (medium)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><strong>Purple</strong> (hardest)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The game is quick to play but needs careful thinking. One small wrong guess can cost you the round.</span></p>

<p><strong>Full Solution For February 5:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Yellow (Cultural Symbols Of The US): American Flag, Apple Pie, Bald Eagle, Baseball</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Green (Collide With): Bump, Butt, Knock, Ram</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Blue (Blue Things): Jeans, Lapis Lazuli, Ocean, Sky</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Purple (Lees Of Hollywood): Ang, Bruce, Christopher, Spike</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Today&rsquo;s puzzle was nicely balanced. The US symbols group was the easiest to spot for most players. The colliding words also made sense once you saw the action behind them. The blue things group needed you to think about colour, not meaning.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The last group about Lees of Hollywood was the trickiest and needed movie knowledge. A smart and fun set overall.</span></p>
