Cracking Today's NYT 'Connections' – Hints and Solutions for March 22
Hey there, everyone! Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend. If you’re like me, weekends mean diving into some great word puzzles, and of course, today we’re tackling another edition of NYT’s ‘Connections.’ If you’re new to the game, welcome to the fun! ‘Connections’ is a popular daily word game from The New York Times that challenges you to find common links between groups of words. It might sound simple at first, but trust me, it can get tricky fast. But don’t worry—I’ve got some hints to help you through it, and if you're really stuck, I’ll reveal today’s answers as well. Let’s dive in!
So, how does ‘Connections’ work? You’re given a grid of 16 words, and your job is to sort them into four groups of four based on their shared characteristics. These links can be anything—synonyms, categories, common prefixes, or even phrases that fit together. Some words might seem like they belong in multiple groups, but there's only one correct solution. The game even color-codes the difficulty levels: Yellow is usually the easiest, followed by Green and Blue, and Purple tends to be the most challenging, often involving wordplay or tricky themes.
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff! Here are your hints for today’s puzzle:
-
Yellow Group Hint: Noisemakers

Green Group Hint: Small objects that might be of little value
-
Blue Group Hint: They lead with the magic number
