Connections NYT is the latest sensation from The New York Times, captivating players with its unique twist on word puzzles. Similar to Wordle, Connections challenges players to identify common threads among sets of words. Each day brings a new batch of words, progressively more challenging, and resets daily at midnight.
Created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, Connections tasks players with grouping four words that share a common theme. This can range from book titles to country names, offering a diverse array of challenges. Correctly grouped words are removed from play, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes—players have up to four mistakes before the game ends. The game is playable on both web browsers and mobile devices, with options to shuffle the board for easier spotting of connections. Each group is color-coded by difficulty level: yellow (easiest) to purple (most challenging), and results can be shared on social media, adding a competitive edge.
For those who prefer to solve today's puzzle themselves, dive into the challenge. If you need a little push or missed the mark, fret not—new puzzles await daily, each one a chance to flex those mental muscles.
