How to play Connections
In Connections, you’re presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to group them into sets of four by identifying their connections. These connections can range from video game titles to shades of color.
While some words may appear to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. You can shuffle the words to help visualize the connections and each group is color-coded for clarity.
Select four words and click “Submit.” If correct, the words will be removed and the theme revealed. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with only four allowed per game.
