Connections<\/strong> is the latest puzzle game from The New York Times, where you\u2019re challenged to categorize a set of 16 words into four secret groups based on how they relate to one another. Each new puzzle arrives at midnight and comes with varying levels of difficulty. Like Wordle, you can keep track of your winning streak and share your scores with friends.<\/p>\n

How to Play NYT Connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Connections<\/strong>, you\u2019re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to group these words into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. The connections could be based on categories like video game franchises, book series, colors, or restaurant chains. While some words might seem like they fit into multiple categories, there\u2019s only one correct way to organize them.<\/p>\n

The puzzle is color-coded, with the easiest group being yellow, followed by green, blue, and purple. To play, you select four words you believe are connected, then hit Submit<\/strong>. If correct, the words are removed from the grid and the connection is revealed. If you\u2019re wrong, it counts as a mistake, and you only have four mistakes before the game ends.<\/p>\n
