How to Play Connections
In Connections, you are presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to organize these words into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections can be related to video game franchises, book series 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 and rearrange the grid to help visualize the connections better.
Each group is color-coded, starting with the easiest yellow group, followed by green, blue, and purple groups.
Select four words and submit. If correct, the words will be removed, revealing the connecting theme. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with only four allowed before the game ends.
