What is Connections?

The NYT‘s newest daily word challenge has turned into a phenomenon on social media. The Times acknowledges associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu for her role in developing this new word game and introducing it to the publication’s Games segment. Connections can be enjoyed on both desktop browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to categorize four words that have a shared element.

Every puzzle presents 16 words, with each collection of words categorized into four groups. These categories can encompass a variety of subjects such as book titles, software, country names, and more. Despite the possibility of multiple words seeming to fit together, only one correct solution exists.

When a player successfully identifies all four words in a collection, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess counts as an error—players may make up to four errors before the game concludes.

Players have the option to rearrange and shuffle the board to facilitate discovering connections. Furthermore, each group is color-coded, with yellow indicating the easiest level, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, you can share your results on social media with friends.
