What is Connections?

The NYT‘s latest daily word game has turned into a sensation across social media. The Times attributes the creation of this new word game to associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, who helped introduce it to the publication’s Games section. Connections is playable on both web and mobile interfaces, demanding players to categorize four words that share a common theme.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words, with every group of words divided into four categories. These collections can include a range of topics such as book titles, software, country names, etc. Although various words may appear to correlate, there is only one correct grouping.

When a player correctly identifies all four words in a group, those words are eliminated from the board. A wrong guess counts as a mistake—players can afford up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Additionally, players have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to facilitate the identification of connections. Each group is also color-coded, with yellow indicating the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, players can share their results with friends on social media.
