Connections is a fun puzzle game from the New York Times where you categorize 16 words into four groups of four based on their shared themes. Each puzzle refreshes daily, and you can track your progress and challenge friends, much like Wordle. Here’s a rundown on how to play and today’s hints and answers:
How to Play NYT Connections
- Grid and Goal: You’ll see a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort these words into four groups of four that share a common theme.
- Shuffling and Arranging: You can shuffle and rearrange the words to spot possible connections more clearly.
- Submitting Groups: Choose four words, hit Submit, and see if they form a correct group. If you’re right, those words are removed from the grid, and the theme is revealed. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, and you have a maximum of four mistakes before the game ends.
- Color-Coding: The groups are color-coded to indicate their difficulty, with yellow being the easiest and purple being the hardest.
