If you've been eagerly diving into the world of word games, the latest sensation from The New York Times, Connections NYT , might have caught your eye. This captivating game challenges players to discover the common threads between words, offering a refreshing twist on mental exercises. Similar to the beloved Wordle, Connections presents a fresh puzzle every day, progressively increasing in difficulty. Fear not if you're feeling stumped; we've assembled some clues and strategies to assist you in overcoming any obstacles.
Connections, the NYT's newest addition to its daily gaming repertoire, has swiftly gained traction on social media platforms. Spearheaded by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, this game has found its home in the renowned newspaper's Games section. Available on both web browsers and mobile devices, Connections tasks players with categorizing four words that share a common element.
Each puzzle comprises 16 words, organized into sets of four categories. These categories could encompass a wide array of themes, ranging from book titles to country names. While multiple words may appear to fit together, only one combination is correct. Correctly identifying all four words in a set removes them from the board, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes—players have up to four chances before the game concludes.
Players can manipulate the board by rearranging and shuffling words to facilitate the discovery of connections. Furthermore, each category is color-coded, with yellow denoting the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, players can share their results with friends on social media platforms.
For those seeking a hint regarding today's categories without outright revealing them, consider these clues:
