NYT Connections Heatmaps
Most likely colour per cell
Each cell is coloured by the rarity that appears most often at that starting position. The percentage shows what fraction of the time that that colour occured for the cell.
Rarity split
Each tile contains up to four bubbles representing the different connection sets. Bubble size and number shows how many times each rarity started in that row/column cell, using the global rarity filter above.
Group explorer
Select cells to view which other cells often are matched alongside the selection. Other cells fade to show how often they co-occur in those same groups.
Gradient heatmaps by rarity
Each panel shows density contours for the respective colour, based on how likely a cell was to start in that set.
Group-name word frequency by rarity
Top n-grams in solution groups, clustered by active rarities. Click an entry to view co-frequent n-grams.
Hint-word length frequency
Distributions of clue length, overlaid on one plot by rarity, to compare word-length behaviour.
Same graph style, split into one panel per weekday.
Group density over time
Daily density score for each selected rarity across the chosen date range. A higher value means words in a group were clustered closer together. The white line is the moving average.
Top group patterns
The most common 4-cell group shapes across the filtered range. Each bar shows what share of that pattern's occurrences came from each rarity.
Never-used group patterns
4-cell patterns that have never appeared in any group. Showing 0 out of 0 unused patterns.
Tetromino group shapes
Configured tetromino shape frequencies across the filtered range. Shapes are matched in any orientation, mirror, and location.
