What is the NYT Connections Game?
NYT Connections is a daily word puzzle that challenges players to group 16 words into four categories based on shared themes. The game tests your ability to recognise patterns, associations, and sometimes, puns or cultural references. Each category is colour-coded by difficulty: yellow (easy), green (moderate), blue (challenging), and purple (difficult).
How to Play the NYT Connections Puzzle
To play Connections, examine all the 16 words and identify four groups of four words that share a common link. Select the words you believe form a group and submit your group. If correct, the set will be validated. If wrong, you will lose one of your only four attempts. Use shuffle to see words from a new perspective.
Best Strategies to Solve NYT Connections Puzzles
Start with the obvious: Identify any clear groupings such as colours, numbers, or things you are recognising.
Look for synonyms or related terms: Words with similar meanings or that belong to the same category are often grouped together.
Consider word pairings: Think about common phrases, idioms, etc.
Use the shuffle feature: Rearranging the words can help you see new connections.
Take breaks: If you are stuck, stepping away for a moment can provide a fresh perspective.
