It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means: it’s time for another round of Connections!
Over in our little* discussion group on Discord (more on that in a second), a few folks have started sharing their results from Lingule, another daily word game. The idea with that one is to identify the language — or variant thereof — that a certain word stems from. It’s pretty enjoyable! I learn a little something from it. I think you might like it too.
*Not so little anymore. More than 500 of you have joined us in the two months or so it’s been up and running. Wowzers.
On that note, I’ve set up a discussion group for Connections and this column on Discord. You can chat about each game (and other topics) with me and other folks. I’m always interested to find out how other people approach the game, so join us! It’s fun.
It’s also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare(!) occasions that I mess something up.
Today’s NYTConnections hints and answers for Wednesday, January 29, are coming right up.
How To Play Connections
Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app.
You’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part.
There’s only one solution for each puzzle, and you’ll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.
Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay.
Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you’re incorrect, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you’re one word away from getting it right, but you’ll still need to figure out which one to swap.
If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with the help of some hints, and, if you’re really struggling, today’s Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it’s easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.
If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication’s Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed.
Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find my hints for each grid via Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query.
What Are Today’s Connections Hints?
Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today’s Connections groups, I’ll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them.
Today’s 16 words are…
WICKED
GINGERBREAD
FULL
TALK
POSSESSED
VENOM
ALIEN
DROOL
HAUNTED
DREAM
SNORE
BORE
HAD
GLADIATOR
WHITE
HELD
And the hints for today’s Connections groups are:
Yellow group — it was all yours
Green group — we do these perhaps a third of the time
Blue group — the latest from Álvarez, Scott, Marcel and Chu
Purple group — “fun” and “our” would fit in here
What Are Today’s Connections Groups?
Need some extra help?
Be warned: we’re starting to get into spoiler territory.
Today’s Connections groups are…
Yellow group — owned
Green group — things you might do in your sleep
Blue group — movie series with 2024 releases
Purple group — ____ house
What Are Today’s Connections Answers?
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Connections answers.
This is your final warning!
Today’s Connections answers are…
Yellow group — owned (BORE, HAD, HELD, POSSESSED)
Green group — things you might do in your sleep (DREAM, DROOL, SNORE, TALK)
Blue group — movie series with 2024 releases (ALIEN, GLADIATOR, VENOM, WICKED)
Purple group — ____ house (FULL, GINGERBREAD, HAUNTED, WHITE)
A whopping 14 straight perfect games means my streak now sits at 17 games. Here’s how I fared:
An identical result to yesterday’s, weirdly enough.
I wasn’t sure if VENOM had received any Academy Award nominations in the technical categories, because Oscar-nominated movies was my first instinct for that, WICKED, GLADIATOR and ALIEN. But they’re also all the first entries in franchises (especially if you consider WICKED as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz), so I was reasonably confident about bunching those together. My thought process wasn’t quite right, but I’ll take the blues.
The greens then jumped out at me. I don’t remember my DREAMs very often but I have been told I talk in my sleep.
The HAUNTED and POSESSED red herring tripped me up for a while, until I realized the link between the former and GINGERBREAD that gave me the purple words. FULL house could be a reference to wither poker of the sitcom of the same name.
I figured out the yellow connection as well after mentally divorcing POSSESSED from HAUNTED and realized BORE probably didn’t have anything to do with drilling.
That’s all there is to it for today’s Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Thursday’s game if you need them.
P.S. I was tempted to recommend “Our House” by the brilliant Madness given today’s purple group, but no, I’ll stick with this week’s dance music theme.
But since we have some movies in the mix, let’s go with a tune from one of my favorite opening scenes of any film. I’ll never forget that bloodbath sequence in Blade, nor will I Pump Panel’s remix of “Confusion” by New Order:
In case you’re wondering, here’s the original song:
It’s so different!
Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Call someone you love!

Todays NYT Strands puzzle is a tough one. Even after I got the spangram, I had to read all the clues over and kind of think about each one to determine how it fit the theme. Once I got it, I laughed, though. If you need hints and answers, read on.
If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: Kermit the Frog is one.

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you’ve got all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
SOCK, GLOVE, STICK, FINGER, SHADOW, MARIONETTE
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is PUPPETMASTER. To find it, start with the P that’s the last letter on the top row, and wind across.

…and the spangram was PUPPETMASTER.
Strands #332
“Show of hands”
Hi Strands fans. Bravo to the NYT’s puzzle setters for an excellent theme today. “Show of hands” is a very clever play on words that sent me in completely the wrong direction.
When I found the word FINGER in the bottom-right corner, I thought I was simply on the hunt for parts of the hand. But when I failed to find “wrist”, “thumb” or “knuckle” I accepted defeat and took a clue, which revealed SOCK. After a moment’s confusion, I realized this was about types of puppet.
Annoyingly, I could see the word “puppet” spelt across the board, and felt sure I had the spangram when I connected “puppetshow”. But it was rejected, so I went back to collecting types of puppet instead.
I found GLOVE diagonally below SOCK, followed by STICK below it and SHADOW in the bottom-left corner.
I now had one answer and the spangram to find, but I couldn’t tear them apart so reluctantly used another clue. It revealed MARIONETTE in the top-left corner, which finally let me figure out where the spangram went.
It was, of course, PUPPETMASTER.

Have you ever completed a puzzle and still not really had any idea what was going on by the end of it? That’s how I feel about today’s very strange Strands.
How To Play Strands
The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.
You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
Every letter is used once in one of the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it’s possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you’re playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess.
If you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not part of the theme, you’ll unlock the Hint button. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words.
Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes. Sometimes you’ll need to fill the missing word(s) in a phrase. On other days, the game may revolve around synonyms or homophones. The difficulty will vary from day to day, and the puzzle creators will try to surprise you sometimes.
What Is Today’s Strands Hint?
NYT hint first and then I will give one of my own to help further. The official hint is:
Show of Hands
And my hint is:
Punch and Judy
What Are Today’s Strands Answers?
Spangram first and then I will post a full list of answers underneath that. The spangram is:
PUPPETMASTER
And here is where you find that on the board:
Strands
NYT
And the answers:
STICK
SOCK
MARIONETTE
GLOVES
FINGER
SHADOW
Strands
NYT
Okay I…what? I have figured out the basics of what’s going on here, as these are the ingredients to some sort of puppet show. But multiple types it seems? Like doing shadow figures isn’t the same as controlling a full marionette. Where does a stick come into play, the thing at the top of that? Do people wear gloves for puppet shows? I’m so confused about all of this, but I still got it done through many, many, many hints.
Welcome to our daily New York Times ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram, and Answers post for Wednesday, January 29th!

1. A large body of water that is surrounded by land

Despite Jake and Logan’s blatant fight tease – fans were quick to notice the March 27 date is a Thursday.
HBO have also not been in the boxing business since ending their contract with Top Rank in 2018.
Streaming service HBO Max also produce several documentary films and series – which Jake and Logan could have signed up for.

The Tennessee Titans have officially hired former Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator John Fassel to the same role, and his arrival is already creating trade buzz.
During a recent appearance on “The Dumb Zone” podcast, Cowboys star kickr Brandon Aubrey said that Fassel told him Aubrey clarified that he’s not sure if this will become a realty. It’s also likely that Fassel said it in jest. Regardless, Aubrey’s comments will certainly raise a few eyebrows in Nashville.
“He told me he’s gonna try and trade for me,” Aubrey said of Fassel. “So, I mean, I don’t know if that’s out of any sort of reality or whatnot, but you know, he’s just a great dude and we’re gonna miss him and he’s gonna miss us. And you can actually tell that he genuinely means that when he says it.”
#Cowboys Brandon Aubrey says John Fassel called him before he signed his contract with Tennessee.
“He’s going to try and trade for me.”
The Dallas kicker quickly dismissed that reality, but it speaks to their mutual respect and appreciation for each other.
Tennessee’s starting kicker this season was Nick Folk, who played three years with the Cowboys after they selected him in the 2007 NFL Draft. He missed just one field goal and hit all of his extra points in 2024, but Aubrey would certainly be a major upgrade, as he’s proven himself as arguably the best long-distance kicker in NFL history.
In 34 career regular-season games, Aubrey has hit 76 of 85 field goals and 79 of 82 extra points. His 65-yard field goal in Week 3’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens was the second-longest in NFL history and marked one of three 60-plus yard field goals for him in his career. for But given this impressive production, it’s hard to see the Cowboys trading him barring an irresistible offer from the Titans.
Whether or not the Titans end up landing Aubrey, Fassel will bring some important experience to the staff. He recently talked about making the move to Tennessee after spending five seasons with the Cowboys.
“Obviously in Dallas, with the head coaching change, there was a lot of unknown, so that was a big part of it,” Fassel said, per the team website. “I had the opportunity to make a decision to go to Tennessee instead of waiting to see what was going to happen in Dallas, and I was excited about that. Plus, I’ve always kind of been interested in Nashville. So, there’s a lot of perfect storm reasons why I felt it was the right time.”
Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott recently hinted at a potential trade to the Tennessee Titans during a recent interview. Prescott, who is set to become a free agent, expressed his admiration for the Titans organization and their strong offensive line.
“I’ve always respected the Titans and what they’ve been able to accomplish in recent years,” Prescott said. “Their offensive line is one of the best in the league, and playing behind that kind of protection would be a dream come true for any quarterback.”
While Prescott did not confirm any specific trade talks with the Titans, his comments have sparked speculation among fans and analysts. The Titans are in need of a quarterback following the departure of Ryan Tannehill, and Prescott could be a perfect fit for their offense.
It remains to be seen if the Cowboys will entertain trade offers for Prescott or if he will ultimately sign a new contract with the team. However, the possibility of Prescott suiting up for the Titans next season is certainly an intriguing prospect for football fans. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

Well, I told you it was a long spangram today, and here we are. I got HORSE then RIDING then HORSERIDING before I found HORSEBACKRISING for a full 15 letter spangram which you don’t see everyday. And it’s in the shape of a horse head! Very funny. The words were pretty easy and the only one that wasn’t there really was HORSESHOE, but I think that’s understandable.

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
Things started out rather badly for your humble narrator today. SPOUT gave me all grey boxes and a whopping 775 remaining solutions remained. CRANE slashed that down to 53, which is still quite a few. I thought I might luck out with FIERY, but even here I was left with two possible solutions: FEWER and FEVER. My gut told me FEVER, and lucky for me that was the Wordle!
