Connections NYT is the latest word game from The New York Times that has captivated audiences with its unique challenge of finding common threads between words. Similar to Wordle, Connections resets daily, presenting increasingly challenging sets of words. Here's a guide to help you navigate today's puzzle and beyond.
Introduced by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, Connections has quickly gained popularity for its engaging gameplay. Available on both web browsers and mobile devices, the game requires players to group four words that share a commonality.
Each puzzle consists of 16 words divided into four categories. These categories can span diverse topics such as book titles, software, or country names. Despite seeming connections, only one grouping is correct per set. Correct guesses remove words, while incorrect ones count as mistakes—with players allowed up to four before the game ends.
Players can enhance their strategy by rearranging the board and utilizing color-coded difficulty levels: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and purple. Sharing results on social media adds a communal aspect, akin to other popular word games.
