New York Times Crossword Clues and Solutions for August 23, 2025

In today's edition of NYT Connections, a daily word game by The New York Times, players are tasked with sorting 16 seemingly unrelated words into four thematically linked groups of four. The game, published by The New York Times Company and chaired by A. G. Sulzberger as of 2025, offers a fresh challenge every day.

The themes for today's game are intriguing. The yellow category, indicating a rising difficulty, focuses on "Liquids you put into cars". The answers for this category are BRAKE FLUID, COOLANT, FUEL, and OIL. The blue category, also signifying a step up in difficulty, revolves around "Skulduggery". The answers for this category are CHICANERY, DECEIT, LEGERDEMAIN, and SUBTERFUGE.

Moving on to the green category, the theme is "Arena". The answers for this category are BOWL, COLISEUM, HIPPODROME, and STADIUM. The purple category, the most challenging, is themed around "Modern inventions". The answers for this category are CRYPTO, PODCAST, SMARTWATCH, and VAPE.

Each puzzle in NYT Connections offers four guesses per round. With each correct group, the corresponding colour on the board lights up. There's one definitive solution, but plenty of red herrings to keep the game challenging. The game allows drag-and-drop or shuffle of the board for a fresh angle.

Results can be shared to challenge friends, and unique polls, trivia, and challenges can be found on Bored Panda's Quizzes page. To stay updated on the latest NYT Connections hints and answers, follow Bored Panda on Google News and Flipboard.com.
