Connections is a short daily word game that pits players against four mystery categories. How Connections works is that players are given sixteen words, but not how those words fit together, and they need to split them equally into four groups. In order to succeed today, players might want some word definitions, some hints on the categories, spoilers, or more. This article contains everything needed to win at today's puzzle.

Definitions of Today's Connections Words

There are a handful of weird words in today's New York Times Games Connections puzzle, and some folks might be looking to figure out what these words are referencing. Here are some items players might stumble over:

What is the definition of Felicity?

The word felicity has a number of meanings. It means "joy, happiness," but it can also used as a woman's name. There was a TV show in the late 1990s called Felicity as well.

What is the definition of Whooping?

"Whooping" is not usually a word used by itself; it is usually coupled with the word "Cough" to describe a disease that comes with a very bad cough. There is also a whooping crane, a type of bird with a loud call.

What is the definition of Euphoria?

Euphoria also has a bunch of things it could reference; the strict definition of the word is "elation, great happiness." But it has also been a TV show, a book, and the name of other media as well.

What is the definition of Frasier?

Frasier is actually not a word so much as it is a name. Frasier here references both an old TV show, and the show's main character: Frasier Crane.
