Connections is a brand new puzzle game from The New York Times that challenges you to group 16 words into four categories. Each puzzle resets daily at midnight and varies in difficulty. You can track your winning streak and compare scores with friends, much like Wordle.
How to Play NYT Connections
- Grid Layout: You’ll start with a grid of 16 words.
- Categorize Words: Your goal is to sort these words into four sets of four based on their connections. For example, themes could be things like video game titles, book series, or types of fruit.
- Word Shuffle: You can shuffle and rearrange the words to better see potential connections.
- Submit Groups: Pick four words and submit them. If your group is correct, they will be removed from the grid, and the theme will be revealed. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes.
- Mistakes Limit: You have four mistakes available before the game ends.
