ForbesToday's NYT “Connections” tips and answers for Sunday, September 29th

Hey people! Welcome to the start of a new week! I hope it is an excellent one for you. I think today's song recommendation will put you in a good mood.

Today NYT Connections Hints and answers are coming soon.

How to play connections

Connections is a free, popular one New York Times daily pun. You will receive a new puzzle every day at midnight. You can play on that NYT Website or gaming app.

You will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to divide them into four groups of four by figuring out the connections between them. The groups can be items you can click on, names of research participants, or words preceded by a body part.

Each puzzle has only one solution and you need to be careful when it comes to words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to perhaps better see the connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often contains puns.

Select four words that you think go together and click Send. If you guess and are wrong, you lose a life. When you're close to finding the right group, you may see a message saying you're one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which word to swap.

If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let's make sure that this doesn't happen with the help of some tips, and if you really find it difficult, even with today's ones Connections Answer. Like with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

I found this to be a relatively windy start to the week. As soon as I saw DOROTHY, I immediately thought of it The Wizard of Oz and by the time I finished copying the word list, I had the blues figured out. The yellow tones were also very straightforward.

I didn't know what AMBERGRIS was, but I deduced the rest of the greens and that seemed to make the most sense for them. Somewhat shamefully, I didn't figure out the purple group. As a reminder, the cities mentioned are Quito, Rome, Sofia and Seoul.

PS: Here's a cool song that I just heard for the first time. Apple Music's autoplay feature turned it around for me after listening to something else on Sunday morning. It's actually a pretty outstanding Sunday morning song. I think it works just as well as a song to start the week with:
