**New York, NY** – A popular New York Times word game, Connections, saw its solutions for January 3rd released today. The game, which challenges players to group 16 words into four sets of four based on their connections, had players scrambling to find the links.
A popular blogger, who offers daily hints and solutions, provided assistance for today’s puzzle. The blogger, whose name was not included in the provided text, described the puzzle as having a “smooth sailing” solution once the player identifies key connections. For example, the blogger noted that identifying the link between the words “STICKER” and “BELLY” quickly led to solving one of the more challenging groups.
The blogger also highlighted a potential pitfall in one of the easier groups, warning players of a “red herring” with the words MOREL, OYSTER, and CLAM, advising readers to recognize the mushroom connection.
The full solutions were provided on the blogger’s website along with hints for each group, progressing from easier to harder categories. A Discord discussion group has been created by the blogger for further discussion and feedback on the game. The blogger also shared their own personal progress in the game and a recent movie review.
The NYT Connections game is available on the NYT website and app. The archive of past puzzles is accessible with an NYT All Access or Games subscription.
