Forbes NYT Connections: Hints and Solutions for Wednesday, April 23rd

It's Wednesday, puzzle day! Let's tackle today's New York Times Connections word game. While I generally prefer focusing on the positive, I have to admit, "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants isn't my favorite. It's not a bad song, but it just doesn't resonate with me. (Don't worry, a musical recommendation awaits at the end to balance things out!)

Before we dive in, a reminder: I've created a Discord group for NYT Connections discussions. It's a friendly community where we chat about the game and more. It's also the best place to provide feedback.

How to Play Connections

Connections presents a 16-word grid. Your goal is to form four groups of four words, each sharing a common link. The connections can be anything from shared characteristics to wordplay. Incorrect guesses cost you a life; four mistakes, and it's game over.

Today's Words

Here are the 16 words for today's puzzle:

• BEAN
• GAG
• TRUNK
• MUZZLE
• TAIL
• MAY
• ACT
• PAW
• TAD
• BIT
• ROOT
• SKETCH
• BRANCH
• FLAG
• FUR
• LEAF

Hints

Let's start with some gentle hints:

• Yellow Group: Think about the components of a specific type of plant.
• Green Group: These words describe features you might find on your canine or feline companions.
• Blue Group: These words are all associated with a type of comedic performance.
• Purple Group: The common thread here involves a type of pole.

(More hints below, but proceed with caution if you want to solve it yourself!)

More Hints (Spoiler Warning!)

Still stuck? Here are more specific hints:

• Yellow Group: Parts of a tree.
• Green Group: Animal features.
• Blue Group: Elements of a comedic sketch.
• Purple Group: Words that can precede "pole."

Answers (Major Spoilers!)

Ready for the solutions? Here they are:

• Yellow Group: BRANCH, LEAF, ROOT, TRUNK
• Green Group: FUR, MUZZLE, PAW, TAIL
• Blue Group: ACT, BIT, GAG, SKETCH
• Purple Group: BEAN, FLAG, MAY, TAD

My Progress

I solved it! Another win for the streak! This one was relatively straightforward. The "parts of a tree" group was easily identified. The comedic group was also pretty clear.

Recommendation

To counteract the earlier negativity, I'd like to recommend "Us" by Regina Spektor. It's a hauntingly beautiful song with multiple layers of meaning. Give it a listen!
