Cracking the NYT Connections Puzzle: January 6th Edition

NYT Connections is a word game that has taken the internet by storm. It's all about finding connections between words. The game resets every midnight, and the puzzles get tougher as you go. If you love a challenge, this game is for you. The game is simple. You get 16 words, and you have to group them into four categories. Each category has four words that share something in common. The categories can be anything from book titles to types of animals. But be careful, only one grouping is correct. If you get all four words in a category right, they disappear from the board. But if you guess wrong, it counts as a mistake. You only get four mistakes before the game ends. You can also rearrange the words to make it easier to spot connections. Each category is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple the hardest.If you need a hint, here are the categories for today's puzzle: - Yellow: Living space - Green: A nice voice - Blue: Card game terms - Purple: Creature If you want the answers, here they are: - Yellow: Apartment (DIGS, FLAT, PAD, QUARTERS) - Green: Sonorous (CLEAR, DEEP, FLAT, RICH) - Blue: Poker hands, familiarly (BOAT, FLUSH, QUADS, STRAIGHT) - Purple: ___ animal (BALLOON, PACK, PARTY, STUFFED) Don't worry if you didn't get it this time.
