The Connections puzzle for June 9 followed its easy enough streak to solve. But if you can’t get it then I don’t blame you. Join me as I begin solving all the hints, categories, and answers for the NYT Connections game today.
What is Connections?
Connections is one of NYT’s most played and ever-loved category guessing games. Managed by Wyna Liu, NYT’s associate puzzle editor, Connections gives players 16 random words that must be divided into categories they don’t know. Players only have four tries, which makes the entire affair even more exciting!

Let’s begin with some quick hints for today’s Connections themes. Check them out and see if you can guess any.
- Yellow Category – Feelings we all get
- Green Category – Just a little is enough

We wish we could go into more detail here, but these hints are the best we can share. We also don’t think you need an additional hint for today. However, if you still can’t find them and need more help then you should refer to the best Connections tricks for more help.

- THINGS WITH LAYERS – Cake, Earth, Onion, Plywood
- _ _ _ POTATO – Baked, Couch, Hot, Sweet
The Connections game today was thankfully smooth sailing. I began with the Yellow category and to be fair, we have all felt all these feelings enough to identify them easily. So did I. I then moved on to the Green section and sprinkled some of my wordplay onto it to make all the connections.
The Blue category itself was a trickier one. While I initially thought all the words meant something round, it actually involved layers. Nonetheless, I solved it.
With only four words left, I got them all together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for June 9.
We hope the answers above helped you solve the Connections puzzle for June 9.
