Getting the win on any day’sConnectionspuzzle is quite a bit difficult, and there is no exception today. Today felt a little more difficult than usual, at least for me,due to the combination of the words in the puzzle. You can avoid some of this by using our tips and tricks to help you along the way. There is a lot going on here, and almost every word can go in one of the categories, but that’s what we are here to help you navigate.
If you are looking for a different puzzle to get you going today, theNYT’sLetter Boxedpuzzleis one that is fun to bounce around from place to place. There are always a number of options that you have to navigate between in order to get the right string of words,but experimentation is one of the better qualities of this gamein that you can try whatever combination you like until you get it right. It’s a refreshing change from Connections' sometimes punishing guess count.

MARCH 07 #635
If you are here just to get a few hints before attempting to solve the puzzle on your own, you are in the right place. There are a lot of places to stumble in this one -including a large number of words that could fit into one of the categoriesand a couple of fake categories that are full enough to make you stumble. If you need anything else, you may keep scrolling down to find it, but otherwise, check out the four clues below:

If you are still looking for something to push you along, there are many different things you could get to help you do so. you may get through the rest of the puzzleeither with the category names or the spoilersfurther down.
SEAL
STAMP
This one was the easiest category and the only one without a lot of overlap in today’s puzzle for me. LABEL and STAMP are very close to the same thing, and the others are quite similar.Depending on how familiar you are with postage, this could be easier or harder. However, having helped my dad ship his online business for a long time, I am well aware of how many kinds of stamps there are and just how to SEAL up a nice package, maybe even too aware of it.
DYLAN
MERCURY
This is where things started to overlap quite a bit, and it got a little harder to keep up with. BROWN and DYLAN both fit in other categories,with BROWN being the main one that could fit in both the “cities” category today and two other categoriesthat don’t actually exist in today’s puzzle. So that’s the big stumbling block, and it doesn’t trigger the idea of a musical biopic in the same way MERCURY or CASH would. There’s an overwhelming number of words that could all be a city somewhere, so that also makes it quite difficult.
8 NYT Tiles Strategies To Score Huge Combos
The Tiles game for the New York Times mobile app asks you to use various strategies to pair matching visual patterns together to build huge combos.
IRVING
PHOENIX
This one I had about three different times with a different combination of cities, which was unfortunate. The other “false” category here involved a lot of names from the showSeverance,which is quite popular right now, andthere are four names in the puzzle that could be in that category without an issue. Additionally, there is a much smaller group of words that connect to big-shot universities, but that one isn’t as full as the other one is.
LUMON
POACH
LUMON is one of the other words that could go in with the fictional names, and this one felt a little unfair because it’s only a fictional word. There is a real tech company with this name, but it feels a little frustrating. The rest of them are just annoying becauseI think the misspelled ones are one of the hardest ones to guess overall. It is distracting, and you are working off different words than the actual result wants you to. That said, you can get there, it is just harder.
