Welcome to the world of Connections, the addictive word game by The New York Times that's not just about words, but also about finding the common threads that tie them together. Released daily, Connections challenges players to group four words based on a shared element, ranging from book titles to country names. And much like its popular counterpart, Wordle, Connections resets daily, increasing in difficulty to keep players engaged and entertained.
Associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu is credited with bringing this engaging word game to life, offering puzzle enthusiasts a new way to exercise their minds and have fun in the process. The game can be accessed on both web browsers and mobile devices, allowing players to enjoy it conveniently wherever they are. The tasks are simple yet challenging – group words that share something in common, but be careful, because only one combination is correct.
Each puzzle presents 16 words divided into four categories, each color-coded to indicate its level of difficulty. Yellow signifies the easiest, while purple represents the most challenging. Players are tasked with correctly grouping words to progress, with a limited number of mistakes allowed before the game concludes. For added assistance, players can shuffle the board or seek hints for the different categories.
