NYT Connections hints and answers for June 13: How many did you get right?

NYT Connections hints and answers for June 13, 2025: NYT Connections, a popular word game from the US publisher the New York Times, has become nothing short of a rage among those fond of puzzles as one can ace it only if they have a strong vocabulary and the ability to think out of the box. Those playing the game need to sort a grid of 16 words with seemingly next to nothing in common into four groups of four while relying on the shared themes. The goal of the puzzle is to guess these 16 words that fall into a common category.

The words are divided into four groups: Yellow (easiest), Green (medium), Blue (hard), and Purple (most challenging). With that, here are the hints and solutions for NYT Connections’ June 13 edition.
