Hello! Hope you’re doing well. If you, like me, enjoy playing with words, you should really like the New York Times “Connections.” It’s an entertaining way to have your brain challenged. Now, I’d love to share the hints and answers from December 1, 2024. Let’s dive right in!
How to Play Connections
Alright, here’s how “Connections” works. You’re given a grid with 16 words, and your task is to organize them into four groups, each containing four words. The tricky part is figuring out how they’re connected. Sometimes it’s easy, but other times it can be a real brain teaser!
When I first began to play, it was a little challenging. Then I began to look for patterns and started thinking about different meanings of words. It really helped me a lot! Have you played yet? If not, then give it a try; it is super fun!

A Personal Story
You know what? Games like this remind me of when I was a kid. My friends and I would sit around on rainy days and play word games together. We’d laugh so hard trying to come up with silly connections! One time, we had a whole debate about whether “candy” could be a color because of “sweet” candy wrappers. It was hilarious!
