How to play Connections<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Connections, you\u2019ll see a grid with 16 words. Your goal is to organize these words into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections could be anything, such as video game franchises, book series sequels, shades of red, chain restaurant names, etc.<\/p>\n

Each group is color-coded: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.<\/p>\n

To play, select four words and hit Submit. If correct, those words will be removed from the grid, revealing their connecting theme. If incorrect, it counts as a mistake, and you\u2019re only allowed four mistakes before the game ends.<\/p>\n
