Hey there, Connectors! I hope you\u2019ve had a lovely week so far!<\/p>\n

Oftentimes in my line of work, I agree to an embargo and then I\u2019ll be provided with some news in advance so I can write a story before the official announcement. This is super, super helpful! It means I don\u2019t always have to scramble to write something quickly when there\u2019s some unexpected breaking news.<\/p>\n

It also means I can\u2019t tell anyone (other than my editors) about the information before it\u2019s announced. Sometimes, it\u2019s about something very cool and exciting, and as much as I want to talk about it, I have to temporarily keep it to myself.<\/p>\n

I am not the best at keeping secrets, but there\u2019s been a fun life update I have to keep mum about for reasons I can\u2019t get into. I\u2019m glad I\u2019ve had some practice with that. Besides, secrets are fun!<\/p>\n

(Sorry for being vague. And no, this personal news has absolutely nothing to do with my partner, in case you were wondering!)<\/p>\n

Before we start, I want to highlight the rad community we have on Discord<\/a>, where we chat about Connections<\/em>, the rest of the NYT<\/em> games and all kinds of other stuff. It\u2019s a lovely group of folks. You\u2019re more than welcome to join us. <\/p>\n

Also, my weekend editions of this column are available over on my newsletter, Pastimes<\/em><\/a>. If you enjoy the intros and recommendations in my Connections <\/em>columns, I publish longer pieces along similar lines on Pastimes <\/em>as well. I think you\u2019d dig them.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s NYT<\/em> Connections <\/em>hints and answers for Thursday, June 4 are coming right up. Let\u2019s get rolling!<\/p>\n

NYT Connections \u2013 How To Play<\/h2>\n

Connections <\/em>is a free New York Times <\/em>daily word game that you can play on the NYT<\/em>\u2019s website or Games app. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the Connections <\/em>archive, which includes every previous game.<\/p>\n

Connections <\/em>presents you with a grid of 16 words (sometimes phrases, symbols or numbers). The aim is to arrange them into four groups of four. You don\u2019t know how they hit together or what the category for each group is: that\u2019s what you have to figure out.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one correct solution and there are often red herrings. You can guess incorrectly three times. A fourth wrong guess, and it\u2019s game over.<\/p>\n

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to deduce, followed by blue, green and purple. Often, the yellow and green groups have synonyms, the blues have cultural references and the purples have some kind of wordplay involved. But this is not a hard and fast rule. Be ready for curveballs \u2013 part of the fun of Connections<\/em> is in how the NYT <\/em>shakes things up to keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n

As with Wordle<\/em> and similar games, it\u2019s easy to share results with your friends using an emoji-based grid. The game tracks your progress too.<\/p>\n

Many players take pride in having long win streaks or getting a reverse rainbow \u2013 correctly guessing the purple, blue, green and yellow groups in that order with no mistakes. That adds an extra little challenge.<\/p>\n
