ForbesToday's NYT “Connections” tips and answers for Thursday, September 26thFrom Kris Holt

Happy Friday, people! There's another one Connections Game to enjoy before you spend your weekend drinking pumpkin spice lattes or whatever whippersnapper you do in your free time at the end of September.

Today NYT Connections Hints and answers are coming soon.

How to play connections

Connections is a free, popular one New York Times daily pun. You will receive a new puzzle every day at midnight. You can play on that NYT Website or gaming app.

You will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to divide them into four groups of four by figuring out the connections between them. The groups can be items you can click on, names of research participants, or words preceded by a body part.

Each puzzle has only one solution and you need to be careful when it comes to words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to perhaps better see the connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often contains puns.

Select four words that you think go together and click Send. If you guess and are wrong, you lose a life. When you're close to finding the right group, you may see a message saying you're one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which word to swap.

If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let's make sure that this doesn't happen with the help of some tips, and if you really find it difficult, even with today's ones Connections Answer. Like with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

I immediately noticed that there were a lot of potential science fiction films here: THING, GRAVITY, MATRIX, DUNE, ABYSS and FLY. I was able to turn off DUNE when I saw the yellow ones. When I saw TRADE and DRAFT side by side, the blues came to mind.

I was then sure that GRAVITY would fit the greens, but I wanted the purple group first, so I did that and then got the green group.

That's all for today Connections Hints and answers. Be sure to check out my blog for tips and the solution for Saturday's game if you need them.

I haven't seen PPS yet The abyss or any of the Dune films, but I would highly recommend any of the other sci-fi films mentioned in today's roundup. I absolutely loved it Gravity when I first saw it. What a terrible experience that would be:
