ForbesToday's NYT “Connections” tips and answers for Friday, October 11th

Hey, gang! Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun in store. In case you're stuck, I have a very entertaining movie recommendation at the end of today's guide.

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 have 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.

When I saw that SWALLOW and BEAR were on the same line, the greens popped out, and then the yellows were pretty straightforward. HONK and GOBBLE showed me the blues and let the purple group (who I didn't recognize and found a bit annoying) win.

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

PS One of my all-time favorite horror comedies is Tucker and Dale versus evil. It's an absolutely delightful subversion of horror tropes. I'm still amazed there hasn't been a sequel yet.

The trailer contains some spoilers, so just trust me – it's a damn good time:
