A NYT Connections Helper

I love playing the New York Times game Connections. Some days it’s easy, occasionally it stumps me. I don’t cheat at it — I’ll take a loss when I have to.

What I do do, though, is check the built-in hints to find out what order the categories are in. My goal is always to get the purple (hardest) first, which often involves figuring out at least the other three categories first. Once I know all four categories, the guessing game is just which one Connections thinks is hardest.
