How Connections difficulty colors work
The Times tags each solved group with a color — rough guide below.
- Yellow — Usually the most straightforward group.
- Green — Still fairly gettable — often pop culture or loose ties.
- Blue — Trickier — trivia, wordplay, or a twist.
- Purple — Hardest — expect a pun, twist, or obscure link.
Solve by group
