NYT Connections Hints and Answers for July 21: For those who are new, NYT Connections is a word puzzle created by The New York Times that gives you 16 words. Your task? To sort them into four groups of four, each group was tied together by a hidden theme. These themes can be anything, from things you eat, say, or see, to clever wordplay or even pop culture references. And the fun part? Some connections will click instantly, while others are so subtle, they’ll test your patience

Each puzzle is designed with different levels of difficulty. The yellow group is usually the easiest ad a good starting point. The green group gets a little more puzzling. The blue group often brings in clever twists, and the purple group is the real challenge — it can throw you off if you’re not careful. That’s what makes solving all four such a satisfying experience.

If you’re feeling stuck, don’t worry — it’s all part of the game. Instead of guessing blindly, take a moment to look at the words more closely. Think about words that belong in the same category, or ones that are often used in common phrases. Sometimes, just rearranging the words in your head or saying them out loud can reveal patterns you didn’t notice before. And if nothing clicks, take a short break. A fresh mind can often solve what a tired one can’t.

Need a gentle nudge for today’s puzzle? Here’s a hint: some groups may be based on roles or titles, while others might involve wordplay that isn’t immediately obvious. There could also be a slang connection or a group that shares a specific shape or function. Keep your thinking broad, and don’t overcomplicate it — the answers are hidden in plain sight.

What makes NYT Connections so addictive is its mix of fun and challenge. In just a few minutes, it gives your brain a real workout, testing your vocabulary, pattern recognition, and quick thinking. And let’s be honest — the feeling of solving that last tricky group? It’s a total win.
