The New York Times' newest daily word game has quickly become a favorite on social media. Created by the Times' associate puzzle editor, Wyna Liu, Connections has made its mark in the Games section. The game can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices. The goal is to group four words that share a common theme.
Each puzzle consists of 16 words arranged into four categories. These categories can range from book titles and software names to country names, and more. Despite the numerous potential connections, only one grouping is correct. Players have up to four chances to guess the correct groupings before the game ends. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes.
The game board can be rearranged and shuffled to assist in finding the right connections. The categories are color-coded: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. As with Wordle, players can share their results on social media.
