Connections is a popular game developed by Wyna Liu, an associate puzzle editor at The New York Times. The game is accessible via web browsers and mobile devices. The objective is to group 16 words into four sets of four based on shared categories. These categories can be anything from types of fruit to famous landmarks.
Each game consists of 16 words arranged on a board. The challenge is to categorize these words correctly into four distinct groups. Players have up to four mistakes to make before the game ends, and they can shuffle the board to help spot connections. Categories are color-coded to indicate their difficulty, ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (most challenging). Results can be shared on social media, similar to Wordle.
