Start with the obvious groups (like jewellery or objects), these tend to be the easiest and give you confidence early on.
Once easy groups are removed, look at what remains often the harder categories (like songs or idioms) reveal themselves more clearly when the grid is smaller.
Think beyond literal meanings as some groups rely on cultural references or abstract uses.
Watch out for red herrings because some words may fit multiple ideas at first glance and avoid jumping too quickly.
Today's NYT Connection blends everyday vocabulary with higher-level reasoning, so best of luck for the game.
