How to Play Connections
In Connections, you will encounter a grid of 16 words, and your task is to group these words into four sets of four by recognizing the connections that tie them together. These connections can range from titles of video game franchises to shades of red or names of chain restaurants.
While some words may appear to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer. You can shuffle the grid of words to aid in identifying potential connections more easily.

Select four words and click Submit. If correct, the four words will be removed, revealing the connecting theme. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with only four mistakes allowed before the game ends.
