It’s a new day, which means a fresh puzzle challenge in the New York Times’ Connections game. If you’re trying to keep your streak intact and just need help with that tricky last category, we’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find tips ranging from general hints to the exact answers.

For those who want the hints without spoiling the categories, click below. These clues will guide you without revealing the actual category names, helping you stay on track.

The hints are arranged from the easiest to the most difficult category, in the order suggested by the puzzle: Yellow, Green, Blue, then Purple.

Yellow Category: Things that share a color.

Green Category: Items containing the same substance when used.

Blue Category: Games or activities that can be difficult to clean up afterward.

Purple Category: Clues that end with the same “category” of word. Often, the first words can be ignored, making the category more obvious once you do.

Herring Watch: Be cautious! There are many children’s toys and games here, and one category includes four of them, but the category itself is quite specific. Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly.
