It's been a while since we've had a truly difficult Connections puzzle… and that hasn't changed today. Of course everyone's experience of the game is different, so read on if you need some hints.

What should you do once you've finished? Why, play some more word games of course. I've also got daily Wordle hints and answers, Strands hints and answers and Quordle hints and answers articles if you need help for those too.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about NYT Connections today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.

Marc is TechRadar’s Global Editor in Chief and has been obsessed with Wordle and its ilk for more than two years.
