Has the June 17, 2026 (#1102) edition of NYT Connections left you scratching your head? Here are some clues to help you solve today’s puzzle and add another day to your winning streak with the final answers.

Connections by The New York Times is a word game created by Wyna Liu. This daily word game presents a set of 16 different words that players must sort into groups of four. The puzzle allows only four guesses to figure out which words are connected and group them accordingly. Additionally, players who get close to selecting all four correct words of a particular group receive a “one away…” hint.

The four groups are Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. The colors dictate the level of difficulty. The Yellow group often features the easiest connecting theme, while the Purple group is often the trickiest of the lot.

So, here are the hints and answers for the June 17 Connections puzzle.
