Does this Connections helper reveal today’s answers?
No. The Connections Canvas is a pure scratchpad. It never talks to the NYT servers and doesn’t know the real answers. It simply gives you a clean place to organise words into four groups.

Connections Canvas FAQ
How should I use this alongside the official Connections game?
Keep the official game open in one tab and the Canvas here in another. Type or copy the 16 words into the tiles, then shuffle and assign them into groups until you feel confident enough to commit those guesses in the real game.
Does the Canvas save my work between visits?
Yes. The current tile labels and which group each tile is assigned to are stored in your browser’s local storage so you can come back later on the same device.
Can I use this with past or practice puzzles?
Absolutely. You can use the Canvas for today’s puzzle, past boards, or custom practice sets you build yourself.
