A new day brings with it more of The New York Times Connections. We’re here to give you some hints, some even more hints, and the straight up answers to October 14’s puzzle.
The New York Times has previously made puzzle games such as Wordle and, although it looks simpler in comparison, Connections can get quite confusing, especially with its peculiar use of unconventional word meanings.
Understanding Connections is simple: you are given 16 words and 4 chances to mess up. Your objective is to ‘connect‘ these 16 words by grouping them into groups of 4 based on similar word meanings and/or themes. What’s great about it is that it you can really just pick up and play right off the bat.
October 14’s word choices are interesting, to say the least. If you’re having trouble figuring out today’s puzzle, gradually scroll on down, and you’ll get basic tips, some more direct hints, and the solution to your conundrum.

If you still couldn’t figure it out, no worries. Here is the solution for today’s Connections puzzle.
The Sounds of Thunder one was probably the simplest of the bunch. The Table Leaf and Book Leaf probably threw you off guard, but you could assume they would go in the same group. Comb not being part of the hair category is incredibly tricky to get. Don’t fret if you didn’t get it this time around.
By far, one of the most confusing parts of today’s New York Times was, of course, the Comb thing, but also Root not being part of the Leaves category. At first, putting Tree and Root together must’ve felt like the obvious choice, but in hindsight, the Leaves category actually makes a lot of sense.
