How Connections Definitions works
ConnectionsDefinitions.com is designed for one simple situation: you're playing NYT Connections and come across a word you don't recognise — or a familiar word that may have another meaning.
Instead of searching for the word elsewhere and potentially seeing puzzle hints or answers, you can check its meaning here first.
Today's 16 words
The site automatically shows definitions for all 16 words in the current Connections puzzle. The main meaning appears first, and where useful you can expand a word to see alternate meanings or usage notes.
Definitions, not solutions
We don't show the four groups, categories, hints or answers. Knowing what a word means may help you reason through the puzzle, but the connections are still yours to find.
Why alternate meanings matter
Connections often uses words that can have more than one meaning. A word might be a noun, verb, name, abbreviation or something less familiar. Alternate meanings are included when they can help explain the word without identifying its puzzle group.
