What is Connections?

The NYT‘s new daily word challenge has turned into a social media hit.

Connections can be accessed via web browsers and mobile devices, tasking players with grouping four words that have a shared characteristic.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words organized into four categories. These groups could range from book titles to software or country names. While various words might appear to be connected, just one correct combination exists.

If a player successfully identifies all four words in a group, those words will be cleared from the board. Incorrect attempts are considered errors—players can make up to four errors before the game concludes.
