NYT Connections Hints for October 11

Blue hangs off SIGN. Purple is three letters and part of a body. This October 11, 2026 page is an original practice board in the Connections format, with four hints and a grid you can play.

Need the habit, not this date? The connections hint guide explains what each color is allowed to say. The live day is on hints today.

October 11 moves from the solar system to the alphabet, then to signs. Stop, street, dollar, and neon are not a city scene by themselves. Each one takes SIGN: stop sign, street sign, dollar sign, neon sign. The short words are the trap. Arm, leg, eye, and hip are body parts, and each has three letters. Earth is a planet, not a body part, even though people say the earth under their feet.

  1. Planets

    MARS, VENUS, EARTH, SATURN

    Mars, Venus, Earth, and Saturn are planets.

  2. Greek letters

    ALPHA, DELTA, GAMMA, OMEGA

    Alpha, delta, gamma, and omega are Greek letters.

  3. Words before SIGN

    STOP, STREET, DOLLAR, NEON

    Stop sign, street sign, dollar sign, and neon sign.

  4. Three-letter body parts

    ARM, LEG, EYE, HIP

    Arm, leg, eye, and hip are three-letter body parts.
