Connections NYT, the latest word game from The New York Times, has quickly gained popularity for its engaging challenge: finding common threads between words. Similar to Wordle, each day presents a new set of puzzles that progressively increase in difficulty as players strive to group four words that share a common characteristic.
Introduced by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, Connections tasks players with categorizing 16 words into groups based on shared attributes such as book titles, software names, or country labels. The game is accessible via web browsers and mobile devices, offering a dynamic gameplay experience. Players can manipulate the board layout to aid in identifying connections, with each successful grouping removing words and incorrect guesses counting as mistakes—up to four are allowed before the game concludes.

For those aiming to solve the puzzle independently, clues and strategies are provided to navigate the challenges. Each color-coded group offers a unique puzzle to solve, with solutions like homophones and informal muscle terms awaiting discovery.
