What is Connections?

The NYT‘s newest daily word game has turned into a phenomenon on social media. The Times attributes the creation of this innovative word game to associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, who brought it into the publication’s Games section. Connections can be accessed both on web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to categorize four words that have something in common.

Every puzzle includes 16 words, and the groupings of words fall into four different categories. These groups could encompass a range of categories including book titles, software names, country names, and more. Although several words might appear to belong together, there is only one correct solution.

When a player successfully identifies all four words in a set, those words are eliminated from the board. A wrong guess is counted as an error—players are allowed up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Players also have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to facilitate the identification of connections. Each group is assigned a color code: yellow for the simplest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, you can share your results with friends through social media.
