If you're hooked on the latest word game craze, Connections NYT from The New York Times, you're in good company. This captivating puzzle challenges players to uncover the common threads between words, much like the beloved Wordle. As each day brings a fresh set of words, the challenge escalates, but fear not—we've got some insider tips to help you crack the code.
Connections, the brainchild of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, has taken social media by storm. Nestled within the NYT Games section, this daily word game is accessible via web browsers and mobile devices, beckoning players to decipher the connections among sets of four words.
Every puzzle presents 16 words divided into four categories. These categories span a range of topics, from literary works to geographical locations. Despite apparent similarities among multiple words, only one grouping is correct. A correct guess removes the words from play, while an incorrect guess tallies as a mistake, with up to four chances before the game concludes.
To aid players in their quest, the game offers tools like board rearrangement and color-coded categories, easing the hunt for connections. Sharing results on social media adds a communal aspect to the challenge, akin to the popular Wordle experience.
