Solving the Puzzle: NYT Connections Hints and Answers for June 20
Hey everyone, let’s talk about something that’s been trending and lighting up brain cells everywhere—today’s New York Times Connections puzzle, number #740 for June 20. If you’ve jumped into the world of NYT word games like Wordle or the Mini Crossword, Connections is likely your next daily obsession—and with good reason. It’s that perfect combination of fun, frustration, and the sweet satisfaction of a puzzle well solved.
Now, let me walk you through what today’s Connections challenge had in store, and maybe even help you become a better player tomorrow.
Connections, for those just tuning in, is a word association game. You're given a grid of 16 words and asked to group them into four sets of four that share something in common. Each category varies in difficulty and is color-coded from easiest to hardest: yellow, green, blue, and purple. Simple concept, right? But trust me—it gets sneaky fast.
For June 20, here’s how it all broke down:
The Yellow Group , which is usually the most straightforward, revolved around sewing essentials. Think about the stuff you'd find in a sewing kit: needle, thread, scissors, and button . Classic, right? You can almost hear your grandma nodding in approval.

Next up was the Green Group , themed around ways to capture something on video. That included shoot, record, tape, and film . Whether you're a YouTuber, a filmmaker, or just someone trying to record a birthday party, these words should’ve clicked quickly.
The Blue Group added a bit of flair and nostalgia for wrestling fans. It featured legendary pro wrestling nicknames—all beginning with “The”: Hitman, Rock, Snake, and Undertaker . Anyone who’s spent Saturday mornings glued to WWE would’ve nailed this.
And finally, the Purple Group , the trickiest of all, played on the word “wax.” It wasn’t just about candles, though. The set included museum, poetic, paper, and seal —all of which can be paired with “wax” in some capacity. This one had a riddle-like quality to it and probably stumped more than a few players.
What’s cool is that the NYT has really leaned into the Connections craze. They've added a bot that analyzes your performance, giving you a numeric score and even tracking your streaks if you're signed in. It’s a small addition, but one that adds a layer of nerdy satisfaction to the daily challenge.
So whether you're a puzzle pro or just starting out, Connections offers that perfect five-minute brain tease that keeps you coming back every day. It’s not just about solving—it’s about seeing the threads that tie things together, often in the most unexpected ways.
And if today’s puzzle taught us anything, it’s this: your grandma’s sewing kit, your smartphone camera, a few wrestling legends, and some clever uses of the word “wax” can all live in the same little grid—if you just make the right connections.
