NYT ‘Connections’ hints and answers, Sunday, March 23 edition: Check out all clues to solve puzzle  

The New York Times’ Connections puzzle challenges players to sort 16 words into four distinct groups based on common themes. The game involves identifying relationships between words, making it both a linguistic and logical test. Each puzzle offers a unique experience and gives players a new set of words to categorise every day. 

How to play NYT Connections? 

The goal is to organise the 16 words into four groups, each linked by a shared theme. The game uses colour coding to indicate the difficulty of each category. Yellow marks the most straightforward groups, while purple highlights the more challenging ones. Players have four attempts to guess the correct groups and each decision helps reveal new clues to solve the puzzle. 

Where to play NYT Connections? 

The puzzle can be played for free on The New York Times website and app. At midnight, a new set of words is available each day, ensuring players always have a fresh puzzle to tackle. 

Tips for solving the puzzle: 

To improve your chances of solving a tough puzzle, try to find three words that are related, then look for the fourth word that completes the group. As you discover more connections, they can lead you to identify the other groups. Stay patient, experiment with different combinations, and each guess brings you closer to solving the puzzle.
