Daily New York Times Links Solutions, Responses, and Aid for September 9, Puzzle #821
The New York Times' daily Connections puzzle is known for its intricate wordplay and brain-teasing challenges, and today's edition is no exception. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
The toughest Connections puzzles so far have included a variety of themes, with the top-ranked puzzles featuring words related to things that can run, such as candidate, faucet, mascara, and nose (ranked #1). The second most challenging puzzle included words related to power, like nap, plant, Ranger, and trip (ranked #2).
Today's puzzle is also proving to be quite a challenge, with four themed groups waiting to be deciphered. The hint for the green group is "Have a hard coating of some kind," and the answer is "Things with shells." The blue group's hint is "Swallow," and the answer is "Swig." The yellow group's hint is "Ended," and the answer is "Finished."
The purple group's theme is "dog" (without a specific breed mentioned), and the hint for this group is "Not cat, but..." The four answers for the purple words are bull, lap, under, and watch. The answer for this group is yet to be revealed.
In addition to the daily puzzle, the Times has introduced a Connections Bot similar to the one for Wordle, allowing players to test their skills and track their progress. Players who are registered with the Times Games section can track their progress, including the number of puzzles completed, win rate, perfect scores, and win streak.
For those who need a bit of help, the most recent Connections answers can be found here. Past puzzles have included themes such as games (Sudoku, Backgammon, Pictionary, Scrabble), tennis match terms (Volley, Ace, Backhand, Forehand), department store items (Footwear, Electronics, Furniture, Clothes), and cold drinks (Iced tea, Smoothie, Lemonade, Frappuccino).
So, grab a cup of coffee, put on your thinking cap, and dive into today's challenging Connections puzzle. Good luck!
