NYT Connections Hints Today (#1006)—Answers for Friday, March 13

It’s the end of another week, and we’re all grateful to have made it this far! What we should also be grateful for is another sweet NYT Connections puzzle, for which I’ve got the hints and solutions below. If you want to wrap today’s challenge as quickly as possible to push into the weekend with great gusto, here’s what you need.

Scroll down to get the best NYT Connections hints and answers for today’s puzzle.

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.
