The New York Times’ Connections puzzle is a daily word game that challenges players to identify relationships between 16 words. Each puzzle requires players to categorize the words into four groups based on a common theme, testing logic, pattern recognition, and language skills.
How to Play NYT Connections
Players must examine the given words and group them into four sets of four. The groups can be based on shared meanings, synonyms, categories, or wordplay. The difficulty is ranked from Yellow (easiest) to Purple (hardest). A new puzzle is available daily on The New York Times website or app. Players begin with four attempts, and an incorrect guess reduces their chances. Successfully identifying a group locks it in and reveals its theme.
