FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When do you post Connections hints?
We publish the first version as soon as the NYT puzzle resets at midnight ET and refresh it around 9AM ET once we verify the categories, traps, and final grid.
Do you spoil the answers?
Only if you open the final accordion. Every section before that is spoiler-light so you can get a push without ruining the endgame.
