It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, you don&#8217;t technically need to solve the final one, as you&#8217;ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What&#8217;s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s playable for free via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\">NYT Games site<\/a> on desktop or mobile.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/gaming\/nyt-connections-today-answers-hints-6-april-2026\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a different day?
