Connections is a fun and challenging puzzle game from the New York Times. In this game, you’re given a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort these words into four different groups based on how they’re related. For example, the groups might be about different video game series, colors, or types of buildings. The exact themes of the groups aren’t known at the start—they’re a secret until you figure them out!
Each night at midnight, a new puzzle appears, and its difficulty can vary. Just like with Wordle, you can track how well you’re doing and see how you stack up against your friends.
How to Play Connections
- Understand the Grid: You’ll see a grid with 16 words. Your job is to sort these into four groups of four by figuring out what connects each group of words.
- Group Words: The words might fit into several different themes, but there’s only one correct way to group them. You can rearrange and shuffle the words in the grid to see if you can spot connections.
- Color-Coding: As you work, the words will be color-coded. Yellow is the easiest to figure out, then green, blue, and purple.
- Submit Groups: Pick four words that you think belong together and hit Submit. If you’re right, those words will be removed from the grid, and you’ll see what theme they belong to. If you’re wrong, it counts as one of your four mistakes.
