NYT ‘Connections' Hints And Answers For Sunday, June 1st
Looking for Saturday's NYT Connections hints, clues and answers instead? You can find them here: I'm back from my travels and ready to bust out some puzzles. Specifically, we have Sunday's Connections to solve and groups of words to put together. I thought today's was pretty straightforward, but each one depends so much on your own word associations and everyone is different. It's a brand new month, dearest Connectioneers. Let's dive right in! Connections is the second-most popular NYT Games puzzle game outside of the main crossword itself, and an extremely fun, free offering that will get your brain moving every day. Play it right here. The goal is to take a group of 16 words and find links between four pairs of four of them. They could be specific categories of terms, or they could be little world puzzles where words may come before or after them you need to figure out. And they get more complicated from there. There is only one set of right answers for this, and you only get a certain number of tries so you can't just spam around until you find something. There are difficulty tiers coded by color, which will usually go from yellow, blue/green to purple as difficulty increases, so know that going in and when you start linking them together. You pick the four words you think are linked and either you will get a solve and a lit up row that shows you how you were connected. If you're close, it will tell you that you're one away. Again, four mistakes you lose, but if you want to know the answers without failing, either come here, or delete your web cookies and try again. If you want to play more puzzles, you can get an NYT Games subscription to access the full archives of all past puzzles. These are the hints that are laid out on the puzzle board itself, but after that, we will get into spoiler territory with some hints and eventually the answers. Connections words Credit: NYT Today's Bonus Clue: The purple group is all about money today. Alright, the full spoilers follow here as we get into what the groups are today: The full-on answers are below for each group, finally inserting the four words in each category. Spoilers follow if you do not want to get this far. The Connections answers are: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's Connections Credit: NYT I was pretty sure that DIVE and HAUNT went together the moment I saw them and from there, the rest of the yellow words were painfully obvious. I thought the purple group was pretty easy also today, with HEDGE and TRUST popping out as types of funds. From there, finding MUTUAL and SLUSH was easy enough. Now I just need an Erik Fund. I didn't realize that the green words were all part of a pentathlon, but I was pretty sure they were sports you'd find in the Olympics. This only left the blue group, and once I'd gotten a LOCK on that my victory was a GUARANTEE. How did you do on today's Connections? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook.

Hamilton hosts 45th National Scrabble Champs this weekend
The 45th National Scrabble Championship is being held in Hamilton this weekend. Photo: 123RF Hamiltonians are preparing for the 45th National Scrabble Championship hosted in the city this weekend. Top players from across New Zealand and Australia are flying in to battle it out, tile by tile. Reigning champion Howard Warner has 12 national titles already under his belt. He said he started playing board games and doing puzzles as a child. "Naturally I would gravitate towards the king of all word games when I was a bit older." He said he was pretty relaxed about this weekend's competition. "I've been doing it a long time now and I'd like to get the first game under my belt and at that point then that settles the nerves, butterflies in the stomach and then I'm fine." Warner thought about 100 players would be competing this weekend although said it could be a struggle against other 'brain sports' such as chess and bridge. Anyone who wants to follow the national champs can do so via a livestream on YouTube. A good scrabble player does not just need to be a good speller, he said. "To be honest you have to have a very good mathematical mind, believe it or not, there are a lot of things like probability theory come into it." But Warner described himself as useless at maths "except in the context of scrabble". Strategy was also important which involved knowing where to play which tiles and what to keep on your rack, as well as always looking ahead rather than just focusing on your next turn, he said. At this level players did not just learn words or their meanings, he said. "We learn huge numbers of anagrams, so a combination of seven or eight random letters and what they make, so that when we're playing a game the words can just leap into our minds straight away and we don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about it." High level scrabble players also need to be competitive and have a "killer instinct", he said. "Also what I can hang-in-ability where even if you're losing you just hang in and hang in and hang in, hoping that by the end you can turn the game just so that you can just end one point ahead of your opponent." Warner said the highest scoring word he had ever played was fiberize which got him 252 points.
