Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times. Players must categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying their relationships. The game resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty. Similar to Wordle, you can track your streak and compete with friends.
If you’re struggling with today’s Connections puzzle, we’ve provided some tips and hints below. And if you’re still stuck, the answers are revealed at the end.
How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll see a grid of 16 words and your goal is to organize them into four sets of four by identifying the relationships between them. These connections could revolve around video game titles, book series, colors, or other themes.
While some words may fit multiple themes, only one answer is correct. You can shuffle the grid to help visualize the connections. Each group is color-coded from easiest (yellow) to hardest (purple).
Select four words and hit Submit. A correct answer will reveal the theme connecting the words, while an incorrect guess counts as a mistake. You only have four mistakes before the game ends.
