If you've been captivated by the latest sensation from The New York Times, Connections NYT , you're not alone. This word game, akin to Wordle in its addictiveness, challenges players to discern the common threads linking four seemingly disparate words. Like clockwork, each day presents a fresh puzzle, each more daunting than the last. Fear not, though, as we're here to offer some sage advice and unveil today's answers.
Connections, the brainchild of associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, has swiftly ascended the ranks of social media popularity. Accessible via both web browsers and mobile devices, this game tasks players with categorizing sets of four words, identifying their shared trait.
Featuring a total of 16 words split into four groups, these sets can encompass anything from book titles to country names. However, only one grouping is correct, and missteps are penalized—players are afforded up to four errors before the game concludes.
To aid in the quest for connections, players can manipulate the board, shuffling and rearranging words as needed. Moreover, each group is color-coded to denote difficulty, with yellow being the easiest and purple the most challenging. As with Wordle, players can share their triumphs (or frustrations) with friends on social media.
