Connections Answers Archive

TodayHint archives every NYT Connections board once it has finished being the current one anywhere on Earth, so each entry below ships in full: all four categories, every tile and the trap warning that mattered that day. Each date opens that board's complete write-up — the same graded hint ladder and folded groupings as the live Connections page, built from that day's own sixteen tiles rather than a guess at how they were grouped.

A date only earns a page here once it has stopped being "the current board" in every time zone on the planet — roughly a day and a half after its print date — so nothing here is speculation about an unpublished grid. Once a page exists it never changes: the four categories, the sixteen tiles and the recap are exactly what shipped that day. A date missing from the list below is either still current somewhere in the world or hasn't finished processing yet — check back within a day or two.

Solving the board that's live right now? The current Connections hints and answers page runs the same hint ladder, updated for whichever board is current. New to the game, or want the trap patterns spelled out first? How to play Connections covers the difficulty colours, the mistake limit and the tiles that read two ways.
