What is Connections?
The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media phenomenon. Connections, created with the assistance of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, can be played on both desktop and mobile devices. Players must locate four words that share a commonality.
Each puzzle consists of 16 words, divided into four categories. These categories can range from book titles to country names. While multiple words may appear to fit together, there is only one correct answer.
Correctly grouping all four words removes them from the board. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, and players have a maximum of four mistakes before the game ends.
Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to enhance their ability to spot connections. Every group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Just like Wordle, players can share their results on social media.
