How to play Connections
In Connections, you will face a grid containing 16 words. Your goal is to group these words into four sets of four by identifying the links between them. The connections could range from titles of video game franchises to shades of red or names of chain restaurants.
While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. You can shuffle and rearrange the words to help identify the connections better.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple.
Select four words and click on Submit. Correct guesses will remove the words from the grid and reveal the connecting theme. Incorrect guesses will count as mistakes, with only four allowed before the game ends.
