<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 11 challenge, and today&rsquo;s board was a fun mix of feelings, money words, solid objects, and some sneaky themed phrases. Players once again had to sort 16 words into four hidden groups. It sounds easy, but once you start matching, the puzzle quickly gets tricky.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Some words feel like they belong together, but actually don&rsquo;t. That&rsquo;s what makes this game so addictive. If today&rsquo;s puzzle confused you or slowed you down, don&rsquo;t worry, here are the hints and the full solution clearly and simply.</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 one of the most popular (and challenging) daily puzzle games published by the New York Times (owners of Wordle). The aim of Connections is to group the 16 words of the day into four groups, where each group of four words has a common theme.</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;”>Your job is to figure out what these themes are that connect the various words together – but be wary, because a lot of the time, there are deceptive red herring connections placed purely to throw you off! To win the game, you have to find all four Connections without making 4 mistakes. On your fourth mistake, the game is over, and the answer is revealed automatically.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Each of the four groups in each day’s Connections puzzle is also assigned a different colour, which represents how easy or difficult the Connection is to find. These colours are: Yellow (Easiest), Green (Easy), Blue (Medium), and Purple (Hardest).</span></p>

<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The compact mass group needed you to think of solid shapes. The roller group was the trickiest because you had to think of phrases like roller coaster and roller rink. A smart and playful grid today.</span></p>
