How to play Connections

Connections is one of the most popular (and challenging) daily puzzle games published by the New York Times (owners of Wordle). The aim of Connections is to group the 16 words of the day into four groups, where each group of four words has a common theme.

For instance, the words "Hook", "Nana", "Peter", and "Wendy" are all Peter Pan characters. Or to take another example, "Action", "Ballpark", "Go", and "Stick" are all words which commonly come just before the word "Figure".

Your job is to figure out what these themes are that connect the various words together - but be wary, because a lot of the time there are deceptive red herring connections placed purely to throw you off! To win the game, you have to find all four Connections without making 4 mistakes. On your fourth mistake, the game is over and the answer is revealed automatically.

Each of the four groups in each day's Connections puzzle is also assigned a different colour, which represents how easy or difficult the Connection is to find. These colours are: Yellow (Easiest), Green (Easy), Blue (Medium), and Purple (Hardest).

Spoiler warning! Today's Connections answer lies ahead!

What is today's Connections answer?

Here is the answer to today's Connections puzzle on Sunday, 6th April:

• Yellow: Aloof (Cool, Distant, Remote, Reserved)
• Green: Utilities (Cable, Gas, Trash, Water)
• Blue: What An Electrometer Measures (Charge, Current, Resistance, Voltage)
• Purple: ___ Joint (Dovetail, Hip, Pizza, Spike Lee)

I guessed the Yellow, Green, and Blue groups without much difficulty today. I've had to pull out enough utilities bills as proof of identity recently to make me associate "Gas" and "Water" together like peanut butter and jelly, and the same goes for "Charge," "Voltage" and all the other words that go along with trying to read our house's electrometer.

That Purple group, though. Whew. A "Spike Lee Joint" is a phrase I know, sure, but I usually don't think of a pizza place as a "Pizza Joint." I'm also not a carpentry guy, so "Dovetail Joint" was lost on me as well. Needless to say, it took me a long time to get this one.

Congratulations if you got today's Connections answer right, with or without the help of our handy hints above! And if you didn't succeed today, don't worry - a new Connections puzzle is released every day at midnight, so you can try again tomorrow, just like with Wordle!
