CLASSIC KID GIFTS
A bike, book, toy, or video game is a familiar gift for a child. This category refers to gift ideas rather than a shared word form.
“____ GIRL” TITLES
Add “Girl” after each word to get a recognizable title: Gone Girl, Gossip Girl, New Girl, and Working Girl.

How to verify the date and puzzle number
Connections presents sixteen words that must be sorted into four groups of four. It is available through NYT Games on desktop and mobile. Because “today” is relative, this lookup applies specifically to the historical date March 15, 2026.
Archive pages do not all label dates consistently. A Forbes page titled March 15 and #1008 displays a different set of words, while another archive associates that set with puzzle #1089. The sequential March 14 #1007 and March 15 #1008 listings from TechRadar, together with WordCheats’ matching March 15 answers, support the answer set shown here. Do not combine the conflicting sets.
