‘Connections’ answers and hints for today, October 19

Out of the many daily puzzles available online, the New York Times’ Connections game is one of the trickiest.

For those playing for the first time, the goal of Connections is to divide a block of 16 words into four common themes.

Some of these – for example, grouping four types of fish – can be very straightforward, while others can be far more abstract.

If you’ve found yourself stumped by the latter, we’ve put together Connections answers and hints for today (October 19) below .

But if this is your first time attempting the New York Times’ puzzle (or you just need a refresher), we suggest thinking outside of the box for your answers.

Some groups are deliberately deceptive – using a previous day’s puzzle as an example, you may think ‘Heart’, ‘Cell’, ‘Body’ and ‘Nucleus’ are all connected through biology.

But you’d be wrong, as ‘Heart’ and ‘Nucleus’ were actually two of four “Nexus” words on the day we’ve used as an example.

Think beyond what a word means literally, try to see subtle patterns, and your luck with Connections will improve drastically.

That being said, some days are still fiendishly difficult – and if you’re still stuck, check below for the Connections answer for today.
