Connections NYT, the latest word game from The New York Times, has quickly gained popularity among puzzle enthusiasts. Tasked with finding the commonalities between words, players must exercise their linguistic prowess to solve each puzzle. Similar to Wordle, Connections introduces a new challenge daily, gradually increasing in difficulty. For those seeking a helping hand, hints and strategies are here to navigate through the puzzle labyrinth.
Devised by the associate puzzle editor, Wyna Liu, Connections presents players with 16 words grouped into four categories. The objective is to identify the underlying connection among each set of four words. While the words may appear to align in various ways, only one combination holds the key. Correctly guessing a set removes those words, while incorrect attempts are counted as mistakes, allowing up to four errors before the game concludes.
Players can manipulate the board, rearranging words to aid in spotting connections. The color-coded difficulty levels—yellow, green, blue, and purple—provide additional guidance. As with Wordle, players can share their triumphs on social media platforms.
Today's puzzle categories hint at the common thread weaving through the words:
