CNET published the NYT Connections answers for June 23, 2026, No. 1,108, giving Players of NYT Connections the completed category sets in one place. The puzzle was described as having some pretty tricky categories, even though the finished grid is now out in the open.
The four themes were dance styles, The Monopoly box, content sorting options online, and things with mantles or mantels. That means the answers were foxtrot, modern, swing, and tap; deed, hotel, money, and token; featured, popular, recent, and trending; and Earth, emperor, fireplace, and Yankees.
Connections Bot and Times Games
The Times also has a Connections Bot, which can analyze answers and give a numeric score after a player finishes the puzzle. Registered players in the Times Games section can follow their progress there, including the number of puzzles completed, win rate, number of perfect scores, and win streak.
That matters for players who want more than the final solution list. The answers tell them how the board was grouped, while the bot and progress view turn one day’s result into a running record of how they have been doing over time.
June 23, 2026 puzzle details
Green was described as a fun one for people who have played a lot of board games in their lives, which fits the Monopoly box set. The puzzle’s other sets split cleanly between movement terms, online sorting language, and words tied to a mantle or mantel.
The tricky part was not the final answer list itself but the way the categories could pull in different directions before the groups were clear. Once the four sets are known, the board’s logic is easy to see; the challenge is getting there without mixing related words across categories.
For players who only wanted the solution, the completed answers are now paired with the category themes. For everyone else, the bot and the Times Games tracking tools remain the practical next step after finishing No. 1,108.
