NYT Connections Hints For Friday June 20: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Thursday's: Hey there, Connectors! It's almost the weekend. It's also the official start of summer or winter, depending on where you are in the world. So, there's that! I hope you're doing okay. Not just "okay" as in when someone asks how you're doing and that's what you say even when you're not actually feeling your best. But that you're truly doing at least pretty well. It's okay to not feel okay, though, especially given a lot of what's going on in the world. As long as you're not harming anyone else or yourself, you're entirely free to feel and think and do as you please. So feel your feelings, let them all out if you need to and, when you're ready, try to stay positive. Don't let the you-know-who grind you down. Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Friday, June 20 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Let's take a look at one word for each group. Today's Connections word hints are… Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... If anyone thought for a second that I wouldn't get the blue group instantly, they clearly don't know me very well. Here, we have references to Bret "The HITMAN" Hart, Dwayne "The ROCK" Johnson (aka one of the biggest stars in the world), Jake "The SNAKE" Roberts and, of course, The UNDERTAKER. The latter character was a mortician, then a zombie mortician, then a lord of darkness-type, then a biker, then a zombie mortician, then, like, a psuedo-MMA guy, then a biker again. I think that was the order of the gimmicks at least. Pro wrestling is fun, and that's a shoot, brother. Anyway, squaring that away helped me see everything else quite clearly. POETIC and PAPER landed next to each other. I figured they were linked by "wax," and that led me to the purples. To "wax poetic" means to talk in a long-winded way, perhaps getting increasingly enthusiastic. It was a toss up for me as to which group were the greens and yellows. But I guessed correctly, and submitted the greens then the yellows. Also, the ROCK, PAPER and SCISSORS red herring was fun, but a very obvious trap. So I didn't feel bad about giving that away in the level two hints. A perfect game takes me to win 115 on the bounce. Here's my grid: 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. I'll be back with you all here on Monday. In the meantime, you can check out my weekend editions of this column in my newsletter, Pastimes. Have an excellent weekend. P.S. You might have been expecting me to recommend something pro wrestling-related here. But no! That would have been too easy (I was tempted, I admit). Instead, I'm going for something that ties into the yellows. It's been a long time since I've seen Be Kind, Rewind, but I remember liking it quite a bit. It's a sweet film, a bit of a love letter to cinema. The trailer gives away the entire plot, but the story doesn't really matter much with this one. It's all about heart, humor and creativity: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and others! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.
