Connections, one of the most popular New York Times word games, challenges players to identify common themes among groups of words. With increasing difficulty each day, the game is capturing players’ attention much like Wordle did.
How Does Connections Work?
- Each puzzle features 16 words, divided into four groups of four based on a shared theme.
- Your job: Identify these connections.
- Words might fit into multiple categories, but there’s only one correct grouping.
- Players get four mistakes before the game ends.
