The New York Times’ popular daily word game, Connections, challenges players to spot four groups of four connected words from a grid of sixteen. For May 3, 202, the puzzle (#692) is stirring curiosity with its clever themes and tricky wordplay.
Here’s a quick rundown of today’s hints to get you started:
-
Yellow group: Words that mean “awesome” or “cool” - think slang terms that hype something up.
-
Green group: Words related to “defeating soundly” - synonyms for beating an opponent decisively.
-
Blue group: Words that form “will” contractions but without the apostrophe - a subtle twist on common contractions.
-
Purple group: Words connected to URL endings but with an extra letter added - a puzzle within a puzzle involving web domains.
If you’re stuck, here’s a small nudge: the yellow group includes words like fire and lit, while the green group involves words like paste and smoke. The blue group’s theme plays on words like hell and well, and the purple group features tricky domain-like words such as milk and comp.
Connections remains a favorite for its blend of vocabulary, logic, and lateral thinking. With only four guesses allowed per group, strategy and careful deduction are key. Whether you’re a seasoned solver or a newcomer, these hints should help you edge closer to cracking today’s puzzle.
