Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times that challenges you to group 16 words into four categories based on their relationships. The puzzle resets each night at midnight, offering a new challenge every day. You can track your winning streak and compare scores with friends, much like in Wordle.
How to Play Connections
In Connections, you’ll see a grid of 16 words. Your task is to organize these words into four groups of four based on how they relate to each other. These groups could be anything from names of countries, types of fruit, to different colors.
Here’s how to play:
- Group the Words: Identify the connections between the words and group them into sets of four. For example, you might group “apple,” “banana,” “orange,” and “pear” into a set called “fruits.”
- Submit Your Groups: Once you’ve picked four words and formed a group, hit Submit. If your guess is correct, the group will be highlighted and removed from the grid, and you’ll see the theme of the group.
- Shuffling: You can shuffle the grid to help you see different possible connections.
- Mistakes: You have up to four mistakes available. If you guess incorrectly, it counts as one mistake. The game ends when you either solve all the groups correctly or make four mistakes.
