NYT Connections Hints Today (#1013)—Answers for Friday, March 20

That’s it, you’ve wrapped another busy week and hopefully pushed your NYT Connections streak that much further. There’s just one more challenge to make it to the weekend, but that’s why I’m here! Below, I’ve outlined the NYT Connections hints and answers you need to get today’s puzzle completed as quickly as possible.

Scroll down to get the answers you want!

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.

Today’s NYT Connections Hints (March 20)

Here are the words from today’s NYT Connections puzzle:

  • LUXURY

  • TIMER
  • SHAKE
  • PARKING
  • RATTLE
  • FURY
  • ROLL
  • CONCERN
  • NOODLE
  • MUSE
  • BOARDWALK
  • FATE

And here are the hints I can offer for today’s NYT Connections:

  • Yellow – Words you’d use to describe being disturbed
  • Green – Words you’d find on a Monopoly board
  • Blue – Words that you’d associate with Greek mythology
  • Purple – Words that can be preceded by ‘egg’
