Okay, so if you’re stuck on the NYT Connections puzzle from September 13, 2024, I totally get it. Today’s puzzle had some tricky words like “Tenet” and “Refer,” which were kinda confusing at first, but don’t worry, I’m here to help.
NYT has been putting out these Connections puzzles since last year, and every day they have different levels of difficulty. Basically, you gotta make four groups of words, with four words in each group. The cool part is, the words in each group have something in common, but each group is tougher to solve. Yellow is the easiest, and Purple is always the one that messes with your brain the most.
Today’s puzzle had words like “Tenet,” “Refer,” “Volt,” “Civic,” and “Pep” — some of them are super tricky, right? Don’t stress, though, I’ll give you hints and answers to make it easier.
Hints for NYT Connections #460
Here are some hints to help you out, starting from the easiest group (Yellow) to the hardest (Purple):
- Yellow (Straightforward): Think of words that mean lively, full of energy, or spirited.
- Green: These words are the same backward and forward (yup, they’re palindromes).
- Blue: All about characters and things from the classic fairy tale, “Jack and the Beanstalk.”
- Purple (The Hardest): These are names of popular car models.
Before I get into the answers, let’s break down some of the confusing words like “Tenet” and “Refer.” According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Tenet means a principle or belief that’s generally true. On the other hand, Refer means to think about or classify something in a general group. Hopefully, that makes things a bit clearer!
