The latest sensation from The New York Times, Connections NYT, continues to captivate puzzle enthusiasts with its unique twist on word association. Similar to Wordle, Connections challenges players to uncover the common threads linking four words. Resetting daily, each puzzle becomes progressively more challenging, prompting us to offer tips and hints to navigate through the complexities.
Connections, conceived by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, has swiftly gained popularity across social media platforms. Available on both web browsers and mobile devices, the game tasks players with grouping sixteen words into sets of four based on shared characteristics or themes.
Players must discern which words belong together in categories ranging from book titles to country names. Despite apparent similarities, only one grouping is correct per set. Correct answers remove words from play, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes (with up to four allowed per game). Players can rearrange the board and use color-coded clues (yellow to purple) to aid in their quest.
