What is Connections?

The NYT‘s newest daily word game has gained remarkable popularity on social media. The Times attributes the creation of this new word game and its inclusion in the publication’s Games section to associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu. Connections is playable on both web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to classify four words that have something in common.

Every puzzle contains 16 words, divided into four categories. These groups can consist of anything from book titles, software names, country names, etc. Although many words might appear to match together, there is only one precise solution.

If a player correctly identifies all four words in a category, those words are eliminated from the board. A wrong guess is counted as a mistake—players are limited to four mistakes before the game concludes.
