New York Times Issues Daily Connections Puzzles for June 10‑11, 2026

The New York Times released its daily Connections word game for June 10 and June 11, 2026. The June 10 puzzle (edition 1095) grouped sixteen words into four categories: a “technique” set (FASHION, MANNER, METHOD, WAY), a “surface formations” set (CRUST, FILM, SCUM, SKIN), a “theater parts” set (CATWALK, PIT, STAGE, WINGS), and a “document metrics” set (CHARACTER, LINE, PAGE, WORD).

The following day’s puzzle (edition 1096) came with hints and the solution, featuring categories such as “parts of a workout routine” (BALANCE, CARDIO, STRETCHING, WEIGHT), “things with horns” (BRASS BAND, DEVIL, RHINO, VIKING HELM), “homophones of SUVs” (BRONCHO, FORERUNNER, TROUPER, UCONN), and “payment apps minus a letter” (ELLE, PAPAL, STRIP, VENO). Connections challenges players to sort the words into four color‑coded groups, with each correct grouping removing those words from the board. The game’s popularity continues to grow alongside other NYT daily puzzles.
