Jun 20, 2025 am 10:02 AMForbesNYT ‘Connections’ Hints For Thursday, June 19: Clues And Answers For Today’s GameBy Kris Holt
Hello there, Connectors! It's nearly the weekend. Also, summer or winter officially begins today, depending on where you are around the globe.
I hope you're doing alright. Not just "alright" in that way people say when someone asks how they’re doing, even if they aren’t really feeling great. But I mean actually doing at least fairly well.
It's okay to not feel okay, especially considering a lot of what's going on in the world right now. As long as you’re not hurting anyone else or yourself, you're completely free to feel and think however you want. So let your feelings out if you need to, and when you’re ready, try to stay positive. Don’t let the you-know-what drag you down.
Before we jump in, we’ve got a friendly community on Discord where we talk about NYT Connections, other NYT games, and all sorts of random stuff. Everyone who has joined has been super nice. It’s a chill place to hang out, and you’re more than welcome to join us.
Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about this column, especially if I mess something up (on rare or not-so-rare occasions). I don’t check comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column in my new newsletter, Pastimes.*
Today’s NYT Connections hints and answers for Friday, June 20 are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
Connections is a free and popular New York Times daily word game. A new puzzle drops every day at midnight. You can play via the NYT website or their Games app.
You get a grid with 16 words. Your goal is to sort them into four groups of four by figuring out what links them together. Groups might include things like names used in research studies, items you can click, or words that follow a specific theme.
There’s only one correct solution each day, so be careful with words that could fit into multiple categories. You can reshuffle the words to help spot connections.
Each group is color-coded. The yellow group tends to be the easiest, followed by blue and green in the middle, and purple usually being the trickiest. Purple often involves some kind of wordplay.
Choose four words you think belong together and press Submit. If your guess is wrong, you’ll lose a life. Sometimes you’ll see a message saying you're close but missing one word — still, you'll have to figure out which one to swap.
Four mistakes means it’s game over. Let’s avoid that by using some helpful hints, and if you're stuck, today’s Connections answers. Like Wordle and similar games, you can easily share your results with friends.
If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the Connections archive. That includes every past puzzle, so you can go back and play missed ones.
Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints through Google if needed! Just click here and add the date of the game you’re looking for in your search query.

One Word For Each Connections Group
Need more help?
Warning: we’re entering spoiler territory.
Let’s look at one key word per group.
Today’s Connections word hints are…
- ? Yellow group — SCISSORS
- ? Green group — TAPE
- ? Blue group —ROCK
- ? Purple group — PAPER
What Are Today’s Connections Groups?
Today’s Connections groups are...
- ? Yellow group — sewing kit staples

What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler ahead! Don’t scroll further unless you're ready for today’s Connections solutions.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are:
- ? Yellow group — items in a sewing kit (BUTTON, NEEDLE, SCISSORS, THREAD)
- ? Green group — capture on video (FILM, RECORD, SHOOT, TAPE)
- ? Blue group — pro wrestling icons, with "the" (HITMAN, ROCK, SNAKE, UNDERTAKER)
- ? Purple group — wax _____ (MUSEUM, PAPER, POETIC, SEAL)
If anyone thought I wouldn't instantly solve the blue group, they clearly don’t know me. Here we have Bret "The HITMAN" Hart, Dwayne "The ROCK" Johnson (a global superstar), Jake "The SNAKE" Roberts, and The UNDERTAKER.
The Undertaker went through several personas — mortician, zombie mortician, dark lord, biker, then back to zombie mortician, part-time MMA guy, and biker again. At least that was the order of his gimmicks. Pro wrestling is wild, and that’s a shoot, brother.
Figuring out the blue group made everything else fall into place. POETIC and PAPER were next to each other, and I guessed they related to "wax," leading me to the purple group. To "wax poetic" means to speak elaborately or enthusiastically.
It was a toss-up whether greens or yellows came first, but I guessed right and submitted greens then yellows.
Also, the ROCK, PAPER, and SCISSORS trap was obvious, so I wasn’t worried about hinting at that in the level two clues.
A perfect run gives me 115 straight wins. Here's how my board looked:

That’s all for today’s Connections hints and answers. I’ll catch you again on Monday. In the meantime, check out my weekend editions in my newsletter, Pastimes. Have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. You might have expected a pro wrestling recommendation, but nope! Instead, I’m going with something tied to the yellows.
It’s been a while since I watched Be Kind, Rewind, but I remember enjoying it. It’s a heartfelt tribute to movies. The trailer spoils everything, but the plot isn’t the main draw here. It’s all about emotion, humor, and creativity:
