What is Connections?
The newest daily word game from NYT has become a social media sensation. Associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu is credited by the Times for helping create this new word game and bringing it to the Games section. Connections can be played on web browsers and mobile devices, requiring players to group four words that share a common characteristic. Each puzzle consists of 16 words divided into four categories, such as book titles, software, or country names. While multiple words may appear to fit together, only one correct answer exists. Players can rearrange the board to make connections more visible and can share their results on social media, similar to Wordle.
