Connections is a daily word game from the New York Times that has gained popularity on social media. Created by Wyna Liu, the game is available on both web browsers and mobile devices. The objective is to sort 16 words into four distinct categories, with each category containing four words that share a common trait.
Players have up to four chances to guess incorrectly before the game ends. If you correctly group all four words of a category, they will be removed from the board. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes. Players can shuffle the board to help identify connections. Categories are color-coded for difficulty, ranging from yellow (easiest) to purple (most challenging). As with Wordle, you can share your results on social media.
