The NYT Connections for March 12, 2025, is now available for interested players. The word game debuted in the New York Times in June 2023 and is one of the outlet’s most popular components. To solve the game, the players must correctly sort a 16-word grid into four correct groups of four. Each of these groups or categories represents a theme, which can be various things—from synonyms to palindromes to homonyms. The categories, in turn, are represented by colors, with yellow denoting the easiest category, and purple the hardest.
Here are the hints, clues, and answers for the March 12 edition of Connections.

We figured out the Yellow Category first, having been familiar with that recipe. The Purple Category was solved next, as it’s always an advantage to be a fan of John Candy. Players might have struggled with the remaining two categories.
