What is Connections?

Connections is accessible on web browsers and mobile devices, compelling players to categorize four words that share a commonality.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words split into four groups. These groups may comprise book titles, software names, country titles, and more. While several words might appear to fit together, only one set is correct.

When a player successfully identifies all four words in a set, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess counts as a fault—players are allowed up to four errors before the game concludes.

Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to uncover connections more readily. Each group is assigned a color: yellow is the simplest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Much like Wordle, you can share your results with friends on social media.
