The New York Times has launched a new puzzle game called Connections, where players must categorize a pool of 16 words into four secret groups by identifying how they relate to each other. The game resets daily at midnight with varying levels of difficulty, similar to Wordle. Players can track their winning streak and compare scores with friends.
In Connections, players are presented with a grid of 16 words and must organize them into four sets of four by recognizing the connections between them. These connections could be based on themes like video game titles, book series sequels, shades of red, or chain restaurant names. While some words may seem to fit multiple themes, there is only one correct answer.
Each group is color-coded, with the yellow group being the easiest to figure out, followed by green, blue, and purple. Players can shuffle the grid of words to help visualize potential connections and submit their answers. Correct answers will reveal the theme connecting the words, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes, with only four allowed before the game ends.
For those struggling with today’s puzzle, hints and themes are provided to assist in solving the Connections. The game offers a challenging and engaging experience for puzzle enthusiasts, with new grids daily to keep players entertained. If you couldn’t crack today’s puzzle, there’s always tomorrow to try again.
