Forbes<\/span>NYT \u2018Connections\u2019 Hints And Answers For Sunday, June 28<\/span>By Erik Kain<\/span><\/small><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Hey there, Connectors! Welcome to the start of a new week! I missed hanging out with you here, so I\u2019m very glad to be back for another weekday run of this column that I love doing so very much.<\/p>\n

As always on a Monday, I\u2019m getting the party started with a fun, upbeat song. The idea with this is to help lift your spirits and start the week on a positive note. Bonus points for anyone who sings and dances a bit.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I bring enough funk to the party in the column. I\u2019ll start trying to make up for that right now with \u201cLet It Whip\u201d by Dazz Band:<\/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

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
