The NYT Connections puzzle updates daily at midnight local time, with four color-coded groups. If you’re looking for hints or the day’s solution for May 12, 2025, several outlets published spoiler guides that list the four categories and the answers. For example, common summaries show the Yellow group as “Places to find physical money,” Green as related to “Rebound,” Blue as “Things tracked by web analytics,” and Purple as “Things you can do with your lips.” These guides also provide the exact four words per group (e.g., ATM, Cash Register, Tip Jar, Wallet for the yellow group; Bank, Bounce, Carom, Ricochet for rebound; Click, Hit, Page View, Visit for analytics; Curl, Pucker, Purse, Smack for lips).[2][3][4]

Multiple outlets (Forbes-style recap, Digital Trends, Mashable-style spoils) publish similar “hints and answers” roundups for May 12, 2025, often within a day of the puzzle’s release, and they note the daily reset and the need to avoid spoilers if solving solo. If you want, I can summarize those guides or pull exact word lists for you.[1][3][2]
Would you like me to compile the exact four-word groups for May 12, 2025 from those spoiler roundups and present them with a quick explanation of how they connect? I can also help you solve the puzzle step-by-step if you provide the 16 words from today.
