Connections is the exciting new puzzle game brought to you by the New York Times. Your challenge is to categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by uncovering their relationships. The game resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty. Just like Wordle, you can track your winning streak and compete with friends.
Some days present tougher puzzles than others. If you’re facing trouble solving today’s Connections puzzle, check out our tips and hints below. If you’re still stuck, don’t worry, we’ll reveal today’s answers at the end.
How to Play Connections
In Connections, you will encounter 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 could revolve around themes like video game titles, book sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names.
While some words may seem to fit different themes, there is only one correct answer. You have the option to shuffle and rearrange the words to better visualize potential connections.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest and purple being the most challenging. Pick four words, submit them, and if correct, the theme connecting them will be revealed. Guess incorrectly, and it will count as a mistake. You only have four mistakes before the game ends.
