▲ 10 r/NYTConnections
I tracked the published results of every Connections puzzle in April 2026 to see if the colors actually match the difficulty. Turns out, the "Reverse Rainbow" only held up 33.3% of the time. Even Purple—the supposed "hardest" category—was only the least-found-first category in 57% of the puzzles.
So, it was a challenge to try to guess a Reverse Rainbow, but a great part of it was luck-based.
