How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your goal is to group these words into sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections could be related to video game titles, book series, colors, restaurant names, etc.
While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. You have the option to shuffle and rearrange the words to help identify the connections more easily.
Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Select four words and click ‘Submit.’ Correct answers will reveal the theme connecting them, while incorrect guesses will be counted as mistakes. You have four mistakes before the game ends.
