NYT Connections Hints Today (#1048)—Answers for Friday, April 24

That’s the end of another week! I hope you’ve had a brilliant few days and that your NYT Connections streak is going strong. Today, we can take that one step further and produce yet another win. Below, you’ll find the NYT Connections hints and solutions you need to get today’s puzzle ticked off as quickly as possible.

How to Play NYT Connections

In June 2023, NYT Connections emerged as yet another game in the ever-growing lineup of the New York Times titles. This title soared immediately, and it’s easy to see why. As a free-to-play, accessible New York Times game, NYT Connections is available worldwide and can be played on desktop devices or in a mobile app.

But how do you play NYT Connections?

The NYT team will provide you with a grid of 16 words once a day. The only task left up to you is to sort those words into four groups of four by finding their commonalities. Every NYT Connections puzzle has just one solution, and some words can have double meanings, so it can sometimes be tricky to figure out the answers.

It’s also important to stress that the words are color-coded: yellow, blue, green, and purple. That’s in order of difficulty, from least to most.

What’s critical here is that you get four guesses every day, and if you use those, your NYT Connections answers for today will be out of reach, as it’ll be game over.
