If you're hooked on word games, the latest sensation from The New York Times, Connections NYT, might be your new obsession. Similar to Wordle, this game challenges players to find commonalities between groups of words, with each day's puzzle getting progressively more challenging. Here's a rundown on how to play and some hints to tackle today's puzzle.
Connections, the brainchild of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, has taken social media by storm. Available on web browsers and mobile devices, this daily word game tasks players with grouping four words that share a common theme.
