If today’s New York Times Connections grid makes you second guess obvious links, you are in good company. Puzzle #1100 mixes common terms with more specific names and themed groups that can easily mislead you at first glance. Below are spoiler‑free hints to guide your grouping, followed by the exact categories and answers further down.
Today’s Connections Strategy & Commentary
Watch out for misleading connections today. At first glance words like Legs and Momentum seem to fit a movement or sports theme, while Shower and Change could look like general action terms. Locking into those ideas too early will waste your allowed mistakes. Separate words by type first. Identify which describe qualities, which describe actions, which are proper names, and which belong to a special cultural set. That simple sort makes finding all four groups much easier.

Connections Hints Today: Category Clues
If you only need a helpful push, here are clear clues for each color‑coded group:
- 🟨 Yellow Group Hint (Easiest): Words describing ability to keep going or hold position over time
- 🟩 Green Group Hint (Medium): Actions you take to prepare yourself before going out for the evening
- 🟦 Blue Group Hint (Hard): All are names of flowering plants
- 🟪 Purple Group Hint (Tricky): All represent animals featured in the traditional Chinese zodiac
Stuck on a word? If you have Monkshood or, remember they are specific plant names not descriptions. They belong to the harder Blue category rather than any action or trait group.
