Background & guide
About this archive
Every Connections puzzle since it began is listed here, one page per year. Each entry shows the puzzle number and the four category names, so you can look back at how the groupings — and the purple wordplay — have shifted over time.
Looking for a specific date? Pick the year, then scan the list. For the newest puzzles, see this week's answers.
FAQ
How far back does the archive go?
All the way to the first puzzle. Each year has its own page listing every answer for that year, newest years first.
Are these the official answers?
They are the real groups for each day's puzzle, collected for reference. This is an independent fan resource, not affiliated with the New York Times.
Why are answers grouped by year?
One page per year keeps things fast to load and easy to browse instead of a single page with hundreds of entries.
