Connections, one of the latest word games by the New York Times, has quickly gained popularity among word puzzle enthusiasts. Much like the beloved game Wordle, Connections provides daily challenges that reset every midnight, increasing in difficulty as players strive to identify “common threads” between words.
In Connections, players are presented with 16 words and tasked with grouping them into sets of four based on shared themes. This could encompass a wide range of categories, such as book titles, software, or country names. While many words may appear to fit together, only one precise grouping is correct.
As players work through the game, they can make use of a limited number of mistakes—four attempts before the game concludes. They can also rearrange the word board to help identify connections more easily. Each grouping is color-coded to signal their difficulty levels: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Moreover, similar to Wordle, users can share their results on social media.
For today’s Connections puzzle, players received hints that guided them to various categories:
– Yellow: Items in a linen closet
– Green: Diametric terms
– Blue: Lingerie
– Purple: Card games with names altered by changing the first letter
Today’s solutions for Connections #715 are as follows:
1. Items in a linen closet: PILLOWCASE, SHEET, TOWEL, WASHCLOTH
2. Diametric terms: COUNTER, OPPOSITE, POLAR, REVERSE
3. Lingerie: GARTER, HOSE, SLIP, TEDDY
