NYT Connections Hints July 19

July 19, 2025: NYT Connections Hints July 19 – The New York Times’ popular word game “Connections” continues to capture the attention of puzzle enthusiasts worldwide. Much like its viral counterpart Wordle, Connections challenges players to identify four groups of related words from a set of sixteen—each group forming a logical, often clever, category.

As of today, Puzzle #769 proved to be a moderate challenge for many players. While the yellow and green groups offered a smoother path, the purple category left even seasoned word gamers scratching their heads.

Here’s a breakdown of today’s game, with helpful hints and the full solution for those who found themselves stumped.

🔍 What is NYT Connections?

“Connections” is the latest addition to the New York Times’ suite of daily word games. It was developed by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, and has quickly gained a following thanks to its clever structure and social media shareability.

Each game features:

  • 16 seemingly unrelated words
  • 4 hidden categories
  • Only one correct combination per category
  • Up to four mistakes allowed before the game ends

🧠 Hints for Today’s Puzzle (July 19)

Want just a nudge in the right direction? Here are category hints:

  • Yellow: H2O
  • Green: What an NFL player might do
  • Blue: Ways to secure
  • Purple: Popular animated amphibians

🎯 Today’s Connections Categories & Answers

  • 🟨 Sources of drinking water: RAIN, SPRING, TAP, WELL
  • 🟩 Things you can do with a football: PASS, PUNT, SNAP, SPIKE
  • 🟦 Sharp fasteners: BRAD, NAIL, PIN, TACK
  • 🟪 Starts of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: DON, LEO, MIC, RAP

Today’s purple category—referencing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ names Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael—was particularly nostalgic for fans of 90s pop culture. The inclusion of “DON,” “LEO,” “MIC,” and “RAP” tripped up many, as they initially seemed unrelated.

If you didn’t solve it today, don’t worry—a new challenge awaits tomorrow. Whether you’re a word wizard or a casual player, Connections offers a fun and brain-stretching start to your day.
