How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll see a grid with 16 words, and your task is to organize them into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These sets can involve concepts like video game franchises, book series sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names.
While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, only one answer is correct. You can shuffle and rearrange the words to uncover potential connections.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.
Select four words and click Submit. If correct, the words will be removed, revealing the connecting theme. An incorrect guess counts as a mistake, with a limit of four available mistakes.
