The New York Times now provides daily hints for its word game Connections

The New York Times will now provide daily clues for connections game, its enjoyable but occasionally difficult daily word game.



You must uncover four sets of associations between 16 words in Connections. Each "solution" combines four words, however the groupings can be difficult to understand. In Monday's problem, I only got one correct grouping. If you get stuck, the new Connections Companion provides a difficulty rating (3.5 out of 5, which I strongly disagree with) and hints to aid you without revealing the complete puzzle.
