Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times. Your task is to categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying how they relate to each other. The puzzle refreshes every night at midnight with varying difficulty levels. Similar to Wordle, you can track your winning streak and compare scores with friends.
If you’re struggling with today’s Connections puzzle, check out the tips and hints below. And if you still can’t solve it, we’ll provide the answers at the end.
How to play Connections
In Connections, you’ll see a grid of 16 words. Your goal is to organize these words into four sets of four by identifying the connections between them. These connections could be titles of video game franchises, book series sequels, shades of red, names of chain restaurants, and more.
Some words may seem like they could belong to multiple themes, but there’s only one correct answer. You can shuffle and rearrange the grid to help visualize the connections better.
Each group is color-coded, with the yellow group being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple groups.
Select four words and hit Submit. If correct, the words will be removed from the grid and the theme connecting them will be revealed. Guess wrongly, and it will count as a mistake. You have only four mistakes before the game ends.
