How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll be presented with a grid of 16 words, and your goal is to organize them into four sets of four by identifying the connections that bind them. These connections could be related to video game titles, book series, colors, restaurant names, and more.
Some words may seem to fit multiple themes, but there is only one correct answer. Players can shuffle and rearrange the grid to better visualize the connections.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.
Pick four words and click Submit. If correct, the words will be removed, and the connecting theme will be revealed. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with only four allowed before the game ends.
