Connections is the latest word game from the New York Times that has gained popularity among the public. Similar to Wordle, Connections resets daily and becomes more challenging with each new set of words. Here are some hints and tips to help you navigate through the game.
What is Connections?
Connections is the newest daily word game by the New York Times, created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu. The game can be played on web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to group four words that share a common theme. Each puzzle consists of 16 words divided into four categories, such as book titles, software, or country names. Players must correctly group the words to progress, with only one correct answer per set. Incorrect guesses count as mistakes, and players have up to four mistakes before the game ends. The groups are color-coded for difficulty, from yellow (easiest) to purple.
