Connections NYT has quickly become a favorite among New York Times' word game enthusiasts, joining the ranks of popular puzzles like Wordle. Created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, this daily challenge tasks players with identifying common threads between groups of words. Each day at midnight, a new set of 16 words appears, divided into four categories ranging from book titles to country names.
To excel in Connections, players must group four words that share a common characteristic. Each correct grouping removes those words, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes (with a limit of four). Color-coded difficulty levels—yellow, green, blue, and purple—guide players through increasingly challenging puzzles, akin to the mechanics of Wordle.
Whether you're tackling Connections solo or sharing your progress with friends, each day presents a fresh opportunity to exercise your word association skills. Stay tuned for tomorrow's challenges and more hints to keep you ahead of the game!
