NYT 'Connections' Hints And Answers For Wednesday, April 2

Forbes NYT Connections Hints and Answers for Wednesday, April 2nd

Phew! I hope yesterday's April Fool's Connections didn't derail your winning streak. Let's get back to the regular puzzle.

First, a reminder: I've created a Discord group for discussing NYT Connections and this column here. It's a friendly community, and the best place to offer feedback.

Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Wednesday, April 2nd are below.

How to Play Connections

Connections is a daily word puzzle from the New York Times. You're given a grid of 16 words and must arrange them into four groups of four based on their relationships. There's only one correct solution. Incorrect guesses cost you a life; four incorrect guesses end the game. You can find the game on the NYT website or app. If you have a subscription, you can access past puzzles.

Today's Puzzle

The words are: FANCY, READING, NICE, IMPULSE, JOB, TYPE, LIKE, VENUS, KIND, HERB, ROBIN, LARK, TENNESSEE, WHIM, SORT, HANK.

Hints:

• Yellow Group: Think spontaneous actions or sudden ideas.
• Green Group: This group relates to categorization or classification.
• Blue Group: A family name, perhaps?
• Purple Group: This one involves pronunciation and proper nouns.

Connections Groups (Spoilers!)

Still need help? Here are the group themes (but not the specific words yet):

• Yellow Group: Caprice (whimsical behavior)
• Green Group: Ilk (type or kind)
• Blue Group: Williamses (a family name)
• Purple Group: Words with different pronunciations as proper nouns.

Connections Answers (Major Spoilers!)

Ready for the solutions? Here they are:

• Yellow Group: FANCY, IMPULSE, LARK, WHIM
• Green Group: KIND, LIKE, SORT, TYPE
• Blue Group: HANK, ROBIN, TENNESSEE, VENUS
• Purple Group: HERB, JOB, NICE, READING

My Game

I managed a perfect game! TENNESSEE and VENUS were easy for the blue group. The yellows followed, though "caprice" was a new word for me. The greens were straightforward, leaving the purple group as the last challenge. The connection is that these words are pronounced differently as proper nouns (e.g., "herb" vs. "Herb").
