Need the answers for the New York Times Connections puzzle? To me, Wordle is more of a vocabulary test, but Connections is more of a brainteaser. You're given 16 words and asked to put them into four groups that are somehow connected. Sometimes they're obvious, but game editor Wyna Liu knows how to trick you by using words that can fit into more than one group. Read on for today's Connections hints and answers.

Markings on a stone pillar found at the 12,000-year-old archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey have been newly decoded by researchers, who believe they may document a tremendous comet strike that led to a major shift in human civilization. The site, a temple-like complex some seven thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, contains intricate carvings that archaeologists think may collectively form the world’s oldest calendar, as well as those that record the Taurid meteor stream that gave rise to a twenty-seven-day-long rain of comet fragments that plunged the Earth into a roughly 1,200-year-long ice age in 10850 BCE. The comet strike is believed to have wiped out many species of large animals, and to have spurred the lifestyle change from hunting and gathering to farming that led to the birth of civilization in the Fertile Crescent of West Asia.
