How to play
Connections is one of the most popular (and demanding) daily puzzle games published by The New York Times. The purpose of the connections is to group 16 words of the day for four groups, in which each group of four words has a common topic.
For example, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter” and “Wendy” are the characters of Peter Pan. Or to take another example, “Action”, “Ballpark”, “Go” and “Stick” are all words that often appear just before the word “drawing”.
Your task is to find out what these topics combine different words together – but be careful, because for a lot of time there are duplicitous combinations with red herring placed only to lose you! To win the game, you need to find all four connections without making 4 mistakes. During the fourth error, the game ended and the answer is revealed automatically.
Each of the four groups in the puzzle every day is also attributed to a different color, which represents how straightforward or challenging to find a connection. These colors are: yellow (easiest), green (straightforward), blue (medium) and purple (the most challenging).

What is today’s response to calls?
Here is the answer to today’s connection puzzle on Wednesday, February 19:
- Yellow: Structures at the shore (Boardwalk, Dock, Lighthouse, Wharf)
- Green: Little imperfection (Dent, Ding, Nick, Scratch)
- Blue: Sounds cuckoo clock (mushroom, cuckoo, tick, tock)
- Purple: ___Tail (rooster, mock, pig, pony)
For me, this puzzle was easier. The beach construction category consists of fairly common, similar words, and most of the matches “at first glance” in the green and blue groups turned out to be correct. “First look”, I mean those words that seem to be a great match after noticing them, such as “tick” and “tock” or “dent” and “scratching”. Sometimes such connections turn out to be false, but in today’s puzzle they were mostly correct.
However, there was one essential trap that you can watch out for; You can confuse “pig”, “pony” and “cock” with an animal motif, perhaps falsely adapting them to the “cuckoo”. I think most people know cuckoo clocks, but if you’re not, I can imagine how misleading it must be. You could change the “cuckoo” into “ding” (as in “Ding” related to time, dong “), which would also be a understandable mistake.
Does this mean today’s difficulty experience depends on your knowledge of cuckoo clocks? I think so. On the other hand, if you drink a lot of cocktails, the purple category could be straightforward for you, which makes it easier to blue.
Congratulations, if you have today’s connections, answer well, with or without the aid of our handy tips above! And if you are not successful today, don’t worry – the up-to-date puzzle is published every day at midnight, so you can try again tomorrow, just like Wordle!
