### What is *Connections*?
The *New York Times*’ newest daily word game has captured the attention of social media. Developed with the assistance of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, *Connections* has become a fixture in the publication’s Games section. The game is available on both web and mobile platforms, with the goal of categorizing four words that share a common theme.
Each puzzle features 16 words segmented into four groups. These categories can vary, encompassing book titles, software names, countries, and much more. Though several words might appear related, there is only one correct collection.
Once you successfully spot a group of four words, they will disappear from the board. However, an incorrect selection is counted as a mistake, allowing players a maximum of four errors before the game concludes.
To aid in solving, players can shuffle the board to rearrange words for a new perspective. The difficulty of each category is represented by colors:
– **Yellow** (easiest)
– **Green**
– **Blue**
– **Purple** (hardest)
Similar to *Wordle*, players can share their outcomes with friends through social media.
