How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll see a grid of 16 words that you need to organize into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections could be related to video game titles, book sequels, shades of red, chain restaurant names, and more.
Some words may seem to fit multiple themes, but there is only one correct answer. You can shuffle the words on the grid to help identify potential connections.
Each group is color-coded; yellow is 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. Four incorrect guesses end the game.
