Cracking the NYT Connections Puzzle – March 29, 2025
Hey everyone! If you're like me and love a good brain teaser, then you've probably already tackled today's New York Times Connections puzzle. But if you're still scratching your head over a few tricky ones, don't worry—I’ve got you covered!
So, let’s break it down. Today’s puzzle—Connections #657—brought some interesting themes to the table, and I have to say, it was a fun challenge. Whether you're a puzzle veteran or a casual player, the best part about Connections is that mix of logic, trivia, and sometimes a little bit of pop culture nostalgia.
Alright, let’s start with the hints! If you’ve already given it a shot, see if these clues help you piece it together:
-
Yellow group hint: Think about elegance and fine dining.
-
Green group hint: A summer wardrobe essential.
-
Blue group hint: Something that reads the same forward and backward.

Purple group hint: A blast from the past—films from 1985.
Got any guesses? If not, here come the answers!
The yellow category was all about materials associated with fancy dining —china, crystal, linen, and silver. That one made perfect sense once I saw it laid out!
The green group had me thinking about clothing , specifically different types of shorts —Bermuda, bike, boxer, and cargo. That was a fun one!
Now, the blue group was really clever. It was all about nouns in a famous palindrome —canal, man, Panama, and plan. If you didn’t catch it, the reference was to the classic palindrome: "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama." Pretty cool, right?
Finally, the purple category gave us a dose of ’80s nostalgia. It featured movies from 1985 —Brazil, Clue, Commando, and Witness. That one took me a second, but once I saw Clue in there, the rest fell into place.
And there you have it! Another Connections puzzle solved. Whether you aced it today or had to take a few stabs at it, the fun is in the challenge. Let me know if you got it all right or if any of these categories tripped you up!
Happy puzzling, and I’ll catch you next time for more brain teasers!
