Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Looking for Saturday’s Connections hints and answers instead? You can find them here: Hey, everyone! I hope you’re having an excellent weekend! One of my very favorite things I saw (and wrote about) last week was a limited-edition wrist watch based on the classic game Asteroids . Y’know, that Atari one from the '70s.
It looks very cool, if a little chaotic. The controllable ship from the game that pew-pews at asteroids is the second hand, while two UFOs denote the hours and minutes. Some asteroids add to the visual noise, though.
I’m not huge on video game memorabilia, but I have picked up a few pieces over the last coupe of years to brighten up my place (I utterly adore my elephant Mario plush and Sayonara Wild Hearts print). But yeah, I had to snap up this watch. I’m looking forward to being the kind of dork who wears both that and an Apple Watch at the same time.
Before we begin, I’ve set up a discussion group for Connections and this column on Discord . You can chat about each game (and other topics) with me and other folks. I’m always interested to find out how other people approach the game, so join us! It’s fun.

Today’s NYT Connections hints and answers for Sunday, February 2, are coming right up. How To Play Connections Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game.
You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app. You’re presented with a grid of 16 words.
Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category.
You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one.
The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life.
If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers.
As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication’s Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections , so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed.

. A second perfect game in a row extends my overall streak to 20 wins. Here's how I fared: 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 My first instinct was that MUNSTER, GRIFFIN and PARTRIDGE would be TV families.
The only one that made sense to me with those was PICKLES, so I took a stab and hey, I was right! They relate to Family Guy (GRIFFIN), The Munsters (MUNSTER), The Partridge Family (PARTRIDGE) and Rugrats (PICKLES). I was happy about getting that, since I haven't ever watched two of those shows. The four remaining birds were up next, though I didn't clock that they were all verbs too.
Fun little wrinkle there. The yellows then jumped out at me, thanks to DOWN and HANGDOG. I submitted the blues first, but I didn't deduce that connection first.
KMART is a department store chain that only has five physical stores left: three in the U.S. Virgin Islands, one in Guam and a smaller one in Miami.
K-POP means "Korean popular music." K STREET (which I'd never heard of) is a street known for political lobbying in Washington, D.C.
as well as the name of an HBO show from Steven Soderbergh about said activity. As for K-SWISS, that's a brand of athletic shoes. That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers.
Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Monday’s game if you need them. P.S.
I’m wrapping up my week of dance music recommendations with another French house track. I love the expansiveness of Justice’s sound. My favorite track of theirs is probably "DVNO," so I'm going with that.
It is, as the youths say, a banger: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love!
