How to Play Connections
In Connections, players are presented with a grid of 16 words and must arrange them into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections could revolve around various themes such as video game franchises, book series sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names.
While some words may fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. Players can shuffle and rearrange the words to help visualize the potential connections. Each group is color-coded, with the yellow group being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple.
Select four words and click Submit. Correct guesses will reveal the connecting theme and remove the words from the grid. Incorrect guesses are counted as mistakes, with players having only four mistakes available before the game ends.
