July 13, 2025: NYT Connections Hints July 13 – The New York Times‘ viral word game Connections continues to engage word lovers around the globe with its clever categories and deceptively simple format. Developed with help from associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, the daily game has quickly grown into one of the publication’s most popular offerings, sitting alongside hits like Wordle.
Each day, players are presented with 16 seemingly unrelated words and must group them into four categories of four words each, all of which share a common theme. But don’t be fooled—some words may appear to belong together, yet only one correct solution is accepted.
The difficulty levels are color-coded:
- Yellow (easiest)
- Green
- Blue
- Purple (most difficult)
Players are allowed up to four mistakes, and can rearrange the board for a better perspective. The game refreshes daily at midnight, and its challenging nature has made it a favorite topic on social media, where users often share scores and strategies.
