Connections Hint Archive

Every puzzle, every answer — sorted newest first.

Browse Every NYT Connections Puzzle

The archive contains every puzzle guide we have published, organized newest first. Each entry links to a full guide: three levels of spoiler-free hints, trap-word analysis, category breakdowns, difficulty ratings, and complete answers — the same coverage provided for the current day’s puzzle.

Use the month filter to navigate to a specific period, or browse straight through from the most recent entry. Every puzzle is identified by both its publication date and puzzle number. If you’re looking for a specific puzzle, the number shown in your game is the most reliable way to find the right page when time zones create date differences.

The archive is updated daily. New guides are typically available within a few hours of each puzzle going live. Older entries remain fully intact — nothing is removed or simplified after a puzzle expires.

Archive FAQ

Can I view previous Connections puzzles? +
Yes. The archive contains every guide we have published, including hints, answers, category explanations, and difficulty analysis. Entries are never removed after a puzzle expires.
Are archive entries organized by puzzle number? +
Yes. Every entry shows both the publication date and puzzle number. Use the month filter at the top of the page to jump to a specific period, or the date picker to go directly to a particular day.
Do older archive pages still have full hints and answers? +
Yes. Each archived page contains all three levels of progressive hints, trap-word analysis, category breakdowns, and complete solutions — the same content provided on the day the puzzle was published.
Why do puzzle dates sometimes differ from what I see in the game? +
Connections becomes available at midnight in your local time zone, but we date puzzles using US Eastern Time. The puzzle number shown in your game is the most reliable way to find the right archive entry.
How far back does the archive go? +
The archive includes every puzzle guide from our launch date. Use the month filter to browse by period, or scroll through the full list starting from the most recent entry.
