Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times. Players are challenged to group 16 words into four secret categories by identifying how they are related. The game resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty. Similar to Wordle, players can track their winning streak and compete with friends.
If you’re struggling with today’s puzzle, check out our tips and hints below. And if you still can’t solve it, the answers are provided at the end.
How to play Connections
In Connections, you will see a grid of 16 words. Your goal is to organize them into four sets of four by discovering the connections between them. These connections could be related to various themes like video game titles, book series, colors, or restaurant names.
While some words may fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. You can shuffle the words in the grid to help visualize the connections better.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple.
Select four words and submit. If correct, the words will be removed from the grid, and the theme connecting them will be revealed. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with a limit of four before the game ends.
