ForbesToday’s NYT “Connections” tips and answers for October 28th (#505)From Kris Holt

Hello everyone! I hope your week starts well. Things have been pretty hectic for me so far, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will ease up a bit in the next few days.

Today NYT Connections Hints and answers for Tuesday, October 29th will follow soon.

How to play connections

Connections is a free, popular one New York Times daily pun. You will receive a new puzzle every day at midnight. You can play on that NYT Website or gaming app.

You will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to divide them into four groups of four by figuring out the connections between them. The groups can be items you can click on, names of research participants, or words preceded by a body part.

Each puzzle has only one solution, and you have to be careful when it comes to words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to perhaps better see the connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often contains puns.

Select four words that you think go together and click Send. If you guess and are wrong, you lose a life. When you're close to finding the right group, you may see a message saying you're one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which word to swap.

If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let's make sure that this doesn't happen with the help of some tips, and if you really find it difficult, even with today's ones Connections Answer. Like with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

If you have one NYT You can access this with an All Access or Games subscription Connections Archive. This includes every previous game from Connectionsso you can go back and play any songs you missed.

I immediately recognized the greens and was about to hand them over when I spotted the blue group. Hoping it was the purple group, I switched and completed it.

I was also able to figure out the yellows, so by exclusion that meant I also had the purples (including the connection between them). So I finished the grid with the purples, greens and yellows in that order.
