If today’s New York Times Connections grid has you burning through your mistakes, you are not alone. Puzzle #1137 features some heavy misdirection, with several words seemingly fitting into a general wildlife or social media theme before pulling the rug out from under you.
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 the red herrings today. At first glance, words like Pins and Snaps look like an obvious match for a craft or fasteners theme, but committing to that group early will cost you lives. We recommend looking closely at the terms first, separating physical traits from digital terms will make the remaining 12 words significantly easier to manage.
Connections Hints Today: Category Clues
If you just need a nudge to get your brain moving in the right direction, here are clues for the four color-coded groups:
- 🟨 Yellow Group Hint (Easiest): Uncomfortable physical reactions caused by allergens
- 🟩 Green Group Hint (Medium): Terms you record and track while playing a round of golf
- 🟦 Blue Group Hint (Hard): Specific posts shared on distinct social media platforms
- 🟪 Purple Group Hint (Tricky): Distinct physical traits belonging to a black-and-white African animal
Stuck on one word? If you have White Stripes, try looking at it as a whole characteristic rather than separate terms. It might belong to the trickier Purple group today!
