NYT Connections Hints, 30 May 2025: Lock in your sets

Word games have taken over the internet especially after the pandemic that curbed everyone’s entertainment into mobile phones. NYT Connections encourages you to think out of the box and create sets of likely things that have possibly some of the unimaginable yet logical connections between them. 

How to Play?

NYT Connections offers 16 words in groups of 4 and will have possible connections. Each 4 words have a mysterious connection. You will be given four tries before the sets align themselves, revealing the day’s sets. 

The four sets are shown in 4 different colours based on their level of difficulties – Yellow (Easiest), Green (A bit difficult), Blue (Tough), Purple (Toughest).
