Detectives Solve NYT Connections Puzzle

True Crime Style Story: NYT Connections Hints (April 9)

The Case of the Puzzling Grid

April 9, 2024 – 11:47 PM

The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Detective Marlowe stared at the grid of 16 words, scrawled in red marker on the precinct’s evidence board. Another day, another Connections puzzle—but this one felt different. The words taunted him:

'Apple, Orange, Lime, Grape, Bear, Bull, Hawk, Eagle, Bolt, Arrow, Dart, Shot, Poker, Bridge, Chess, Checkers.'

'Four categories,' he muttered. 'Four threads tying them together. But what’s the connection?'

His partner, Detective Vasquez, leaned in. 'Fruits, animals, weapons, games… but some fit multiple. This isn’t just a puzzle—it’s a riddle.'

Marlowe’s eyes narrowed. 'Or a trap.'

12:03 AM – The Breakthrough

Vasquez slammed a file on the desk. 'Got it. 'Bear,' 'Bull,' 'Hawk,' 'Eagle'—they’re not just animals. They’re sports teams. Chicago Bears, Bulls, Hawks… and the Philadelphia Eagles.'

Marlowe’s pulse quickened. 'And 'Apple,' 'Orange,' 'Lime,' 'Grape'—not just fruits. They’re flavors. Of what?'

'Soda. Or candy,' Vasquez said. 'But there’s more. 'Bolt,' 'Arrow,' 'Dart,' 'Shot'—all projectiles. Or… track and field terms?'

'No,' Marlowe cut in. 'They’re actions. Fast movements. But also brands—like Bolt energy drink.'

12:26 AM – The Final Piece

The last category loomed: 'Poker, bridge, chess, checkers.'

'Games,' Vasquez said.

'Not just games,' Marlowe corrected. 'Games you play sitting down. Strategy games. But also—wait. 'Poker face.' 'Bridge the gap.' 'Chess move.' Idioms.'

Vasquez shook his head. 'Too loose. They’re all classic table games. That’s the category.'

Marlowe exhaled. 'Four groups: Sports Teams, Fruit Flavors, Fast Actions, Table Games.'

Case Closed.

Or was it?

(Final Answer: The four groups were likely—

Fruits as Flavors (Apple, Orange, Lime, Grape)

Sports Team Names (Bear, Bull, Hawk, Eagle)

Fast Actions/Projectiles (Bolt, Arrow, Dart, Shot)

Classic Table Games (Poker, Bridge, Chess, Checkers) —but the true mystery? How long until the next puzzle drops.)
