3 Tips for the September 2026 Dailies
Category size is not fixed — check the slots
The 30 boards this month averaged 34 categories and 144 words, but the words behind each theme vary from board to board. The five-per-category rule that holds across all 4,600 numbered levels does not apply here, so read the empty slots rather than counting to five.
Stages unlock in order, so read in order
Each board ran 3 stages on average this month and the next never opens until the current one clears. Every date page below is laid out in the game's own stage order, so you can follow it line for line without spoiling the stage you have not reached.
Play a run of consecutive days
Themes recur across nearby dates far more than they recur across the numbered ladder, so a week of dailies played in sequence gets noticeably quicker as the recurring category names start to give themselves away. August 2026 continues the run backwards, and the full archive holds 607 boards.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify the September 2026 dailies
All 4,330 answers indexed on this page are read from boards captured on their own dates, stage by stage, and are never retyped or reconstructed. The per-board counts in the table are computed from the stored data at page build time, so the index cannot drift from what the date pages actually show.

How to Solve a Connect Word Board
Three habits that clear any Connect Word board, whichever mode you are in.
Read every category name first
The category names are the only clue the game gives you, and reading all of them before you touch a tile rules out most of the dictionary. A narrow theme pins its answers far harder than a broad one, which makes it the cheapest place to start.
Count the slots, do not count to five
Every category in the numbered levels holds exactly five words, so five means finished. The daily and event boards do not follow that rule — their categories hold four or five. Read the empty slots the board draws or you will abandon a theme one answer early.
Expect phrases, not just words
Roughly one Connect Word answer in six is two words rather than one. When a category sits one short, the gap is usually a phrase you have been reading as a single word.
