What is Connections?
Connections is a daily puzzle game from the New York Times. You can play it on your mobile or PC by clicking this link. The aim of the puzzle is pretty straightforward – you are supposed to find 4 groups of 4 words with common themes. These groups are arranged in 4 levels of difficulty: Yellow (Easiest), Green, Blue, and Purple (Toughest). While this may seem simple, the puzzle often has some red herrings that can catch you off guard. Oftentimes, the Purple category can be a headscratcher with themes that may have something to do with the nomenclature rather than the meaning of the words. You never really know for sure what’s coming your way, and that’s what keeps Connections fresh!

Answers to NYT Connections (#1,068) Today (May 13, 2026)
Close to waving the white flag? Fine, we’ll give you the answers.
- 🟡Yellow Group: Gut Feeling, Hunch, Intuition, Sixth Sense. (Premonition)
Today’s yellow category was pretty easy and straightforward, apart from the obvious ‘Sixth Sense’ and ‘The Others’ misdirect.
- 🟢Green Group: Do Not Disturb, Ring, Silent, Vibrate. (Cellphone Modes)
This was the easiest category for us today. Once you spot ‘Do Not Disturb’, all the other words fall into place.
- 🔵Blue Group: Breadcrumb, Catfish, Ghost, Love Bomb. (Bad Things To Do In Modern Dating)
This one required a bit of thinking. Pairing ‘Ghost’ and ‘Sixth Sense’ with ‘The Others’ together may have led some down a different path, but those who are chronically online must have spotted the connection right away.
- 🟣Purple Group: Air Cairo, All Hallows, Arm Warmer, The Others. (Phrases Whose Second Words Include Their First Word)
We’ll be honest – had no idea the connection among these words until they were the only ones left in the grid. You’re a pro if this was one of the first categories you guessed.
