Connections is the newest puzzle game from the renowned New York Times. The objective of the game is to categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying how they are related to each other. The puzzle resets daily at midnight and offers varying levels of difficulty. Similar to Wordle, players can track their winning streak and compare scores with friends.
Some days may pose a greater challenge than others. If you’re struggling with today’s Connections puzzle, refer to the following tips and hints. And if you’re still stuck, the answers for today’s puzzle will be provided at the end.
How to play Connections
In Connections, you will encounter a grid containing 16 words. Your goal is to organize these words into four sets of four by uncovering the connections between them. These connections could revolve around themes like video game franchise titles, book series sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names.
While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. Players can shuffle and rearrange the words to better visualize potential connections.
Each group is color-coded. The yellow group is the easiest to decipher, followed by the green, blue, and purple groups.
Select four words and click Submit. Correct guesses will remove the four words from the grid and reveal the connecting theme. Incorrect guesses will count as mistakes, with players having a limited number of four mistakes before the game ends.
