About ConnectionsDefinitions.com

ConnectionsDefinitions.com is a simple tool for NYT Connections players who want to understand an unfamiliar word without seeing hints, categories or answers.

The idea came from a common frustration while playing Connections: occasionally a word, expression or American reference isn't familiar, and searching for it individually can expose puzzle hints or answers before you've had a chance to solve it yourself.

So the site does one thing: it shows plain-English definitions and useful alternate meanings for today's 16 words, while leaving the actual connections entirely up to you.

It's designed to be quick, simple and spoiler-free.
