What is Connections?

Connections is a daily word game from The New York Times that has quickly gained popularity on social media. Created with the help of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, this game challenges players to group four words that share a common thread. Accessible via web browsers and mobile devices, Connections features 16 words per puzzle, and players must sort them into four categories.

Each puzzle consists of four groups, with potential categories including book titles, software names, or country names. Although multiple words may seem to fit together, only one grouping is correct. Players are allowed up to four mistakes before the game ends. If players successfully identify a set of four words, those words are removed from the board. Players can also shuffle the board to help make connections easier to spot.

The color-coding system assists in sorting groups: yellow for the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. As with Wordle, you can share your results on social media to compare with friends.
