Connections is the newest puzzle game released by the New York Times. The objective of the game is to classify a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying how the words are related to each other. The puzzle resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty. Similar to Wordle, you can track your winning streak and compete with friends.
Some puzzles are more challenging than others. If you’re struggling with today’s Connections puzzle, check out our helpful tips below. And if you still can’t solve it, the answers will be provided at the end.
How to play Connections
In Connections, you will be presented with a grid containing 16 words. Your goal 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 franchises, book series sequels, shades of red, names of chain restaurants, and more.
There may be words that could fit into multiple themes, but there is only one correct answer. You have the option to shuffle and rearrange the words on the grid to help visualize the potential connections.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple groups.
Select four words and click Submit. If your selection is correct, the words will be removed from the grid, and the connecting theme will be revealed. Guess incorrectly, and it will be counted as a mistake. You have four mistakes allowed before the game ends.
