NEW YORK — The New York Times' popular word grouping game Connections delivered another engaging daily challenge on Sunday, June 7, 2026, with puzzle No. 1,092 testing players' ability to find thematic links among 16 words. Many solvers found it moderately difficult, with the purple category proving especially tricky for some.

The answers for today's Connections are as follows:

Yellow Category (Translucent, as fabric): GAUZY, GOSSAMER, SHEER, THIN

Green Category (Speak): EXPRESS, STATE, UTTER, VOICE

Blue Category (Demolish): GUT, LEVEL, TOTAL, TRASH

Purple Category (Music genre suffixes): CORE, POP, STEP, WAVE

The puzzle rewarded recognition of descriptive language for materials, synonyms for verbal expression, verbs meaning to destroy or criticize harshly, and common endings for music subgenres. Players who started with obvious groupings often secured the yellow or green categories early, while the purple one required lateral thinking about terms like "pop" or "wave."

For those seeking guidance without immediate spoilers, here are gentle hints: One category involves lightweight, see-through fabrics. Another features ways to convey thoughts aloud. A third relates to completely wrecking something, figuratively or literally. The toughest links words that often follow a music style prefix.
