### What is Connections?
The **New York Times**’ newest word challenge has taken the internet by storm. Developed in collaboration with associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, **Connections** is accessible on both web platforms and mobile devices. The goal is to assemble four words that fall under a shared theme.
Each puzzle is made up of 16 words which need to be sorted into four unique categories. These categories can vary from book titles and technology to nations and more. Although several words may seem to match, there’s only one correct grouping.
When a player successfully identifies a set of four related words, those terms are eliminated from the board. However, wrong guesses count as errors, and players can make up to four mistakes before the game concludes.
To aid players, the board can be shuffled for easier recognition of connections. The difficulty level of each category is indicated by color:
– **Yellow**: Easiest
– **Green**: Moderate
– **Blue**: Challenging
– **Purple**: Most difficult
Similar to **Wordle**, players can share their outcomes with friends via social media.
