What is Connections?

The NYT‘s newest daily word game has turned into a hit on social media. The Times attributes the creation of this new word game and its introduction to the publication’s Games section to associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu. Connections is accessible on both web browsers and mobile devices, challenging players to categorize four words that have something in common.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words, organized into four distinct categories. These categories can range from book titles to software, country names, and more. Even though several words might appear to connect, there is only one correct grouping.

If a player successfully identifies all four words in a category, those words are cleared from the board. A wrong guess counts as a mistake—players can make up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Players have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to facilitate finding connections. Moreover, each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can also share your results with friends on social media.
