NYT Connections Hints and Answers: September 20-21, 2025

The NYT Connections puzzle challenges players to find the common thread between seemingly disparate words. Each puzzle consists of four groups of four words, and the goal is to identify the connection that unites each group. Success requires a combination of vocabulary, critical thinking, and sometimes a bit of luck.

On September 20th, puzzle #832 presented a mix of categories, from the automotive world to sports bar snacks. The Yellow group featured car brands (Dodge, Ford, Lincoln, Ram), while the Green group highlighted sports bar fare (chip, dip, fry, wing). The Blue group focused on NHL team members (Duck, Flyer, Senator, Star), and the Purple group revolved around the theme 'Sky ____' (dive, lark, rocket, scraper).

The Yellow group centered around touchscreen gestures (pinch, scroll, swipe, tap), while the Green group explored ways to relax (chill, loaf, lounge, veg). The Blue group highlighted restaurant seating options (bar, booth, counter, table), and the Purple group presented a unique challenge with vegetables that had their first letter removed (ale, eek, hive, quash).
