If today’s New York Times Connections grid has you second‑guessing every link, you are not alone. Puzzle #1093 hides very clear themes behind words that can easily fit other meanings, making it easy to head down the wrong path early on.
Below are strategic, spoiler‑free hints to help you group today’s words on your own, followed by the exact categories and answers at the bottom of the page.
Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary
Watch out for double meanings today. Several words look like they fit general descriptions or everyday actions at first, but each one has a specific and narrower meaning that matches the real categories. We recommend starting with the Yellow and Green groups since their themes are the easiest to figure out. After that, move on to Blue and Purple. Those groups rely more on word associations or common phrases instead of direct definitions.
