    NYT Connections Answers (June 18): Today’s Tricky Clues & Full Solution Revealed

    1 day ago

    NYT Connections Answer: The New York Times’ wildly popular Connections puzzle returned today with yet another brain-bending set of clues that left many players scratching their heads. Puzzle #737, released on Wednesday, June 18, served up its usual mix of clever wordplay, red herrings, and the occasional head-smacking moment of realisation.

    For the uninitiated, Connections challenges players to sort 16 seemingly random words into four distinct groups based on hidden common themes. But as anyone who’s played knows, the puzzle is notorious for its sneaky overlaps and deceptive pairings designed to trip you up. A player gets only four mistakes before the game ends abruptly, making every guess count.

    Today's Words: A Deceptive Mix

    The 16 words on the board today were: Smack, Barm, Pea, Wet, Rankle, Astronaut, Grey, Whale, Cold, Coffee, Right, Ship, Exactly, Windy, Lear, and Dead. At first glance, spotting a pattern seemed straightforward enough. But as always, appearances can be deceiving.

    NYT provided its daily set of subtle hints to nudge players in the right direction without giving away too much. For today’s puzzle, the clues read:

    • Yellow: No fine weather in this group!
    • Green: Find various ways to describe something as 'without question'.
    • Blue: Could it come out of a pod?
    • Purple: Perhaps you can subtract something.
    • Extra hint 1: The shortest words belong to the yellow and blue themes.
    • Extra hint 2: The purple theme relates to body parts.

    Even with these nudges, many found today’s puzzle especially tricky. As one fan quipped, "It may take more than a single hint, but we'll help you get closer to discovering today's Connections answers."

    The Themes That Tied It All Together

    After much head-scratching, players who successfully cracked today’s puzzle identified the following categories:

    • Yellow – Qualities Of A Rainy Day: Cold, Gray, Wet, Windy
    • Green – Squarely: Dead, Exactly, Right, Smack
    • Blue – Contents Of A Pod: Astronaut, Coffee, Pea, Whale
    • Purple – Body Part Plus A Starting Letter: Barm, Lear, Rankle, Ship

    Each category brought its own unique twist. The "Contents of a Pod" group, for example, cleverly included both literal and figurative pod inhabitants—Pea and Whale alongside Astronaut and Coffee, showcasing the puzzle’s playful interpretation of language.

    The Challenge Continues

    As usual, Connections didn’t disappoint in delivering its daily dose of frustration and triumph. With its growing fanbase rivalling that of Wordle, the game’s blend of simplicity and complexity keeps loyal players coming back every morning. The colour-coded difficulty levels—Yellow (Easiest), Green (Easy), Blue (Medium), and Purple (Hardest)—only add to the psychological battle that makes Connections such an addictive ride.

    Whether you breezed through today’s puzzle or stumbled on a tricky group, rest assured: tomorrow’s challenge will be waiting, ready to test your wits all over again.
