Sun Apr 20 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## NYT Connections Solved: Hints, Answers, and a Gamer’s Easter Sunday Triumph

**New York, NY** – A popular New York Times Games columnist celebrated a 54-game winning streak in the daily word puzzle Connections on Easter Sunday. The columnist, who remains anonymous to avoid AI voice scraping, offered clues and solutions for April 20th’s puzzle, detailing their problem-solving process.

The game, which challenges players to group 16 words into four categories based on their connections, proved especially engaging this Sunday. The columnist highlighted the difficulty of the purple group, which often relies on wordplay, and ultimately involved the phrase “sock hop.” Unexpectedly, the green group revealed a link between rubber bands and tie-dye, adding an element of surprise to the gameplay.

The columnist’s winning groups were:

* **Yellow (easy):** GANDER, LOOK, EGG, BUNNY
* **Blue (medium):** JOKE, HIP, BAR, BUNNY
* **Purple (hard):** DYE, BASIN, SHIRT, SOCK
* **Green (medium):** RUBBER BANDS, DYE, BASIN, SHIRT

The author also discussed their plans for future livestreams of their game solves, exploring the possibility of using an animated avatar to maintain anonymity.

The column concluded with a personal recommendation of the new collaboration between musical artists Poppy and Babymetal.
