What is the NYT Connections Game?
NYT Connections is a daily word game from the New York Times that gives you 16 words and asks you to group them into four groups of four words each. Each group has a common thread, like types of food, things you wear, famous names, etc. The game sounds easy in theory, but it is full of tricky wordplay. The game uses a colour-coded system: yellow (easiest), green (trickier), blue (challenging), and purple (tough).
How to Play the NYT Connections Puzzle
You are presented with a 4x4 grid of 16 words. Your goal is to spot four distinct groups of four words that are connected by a shared theme. You get only 4 attempts to get the answers right. Once you think you have a group, hit submit. If correct, it will be validated.
Best Strategies to Solve NYT Connections Puzzles
The yellow group is usually easiest and the best group to start with. Spot for words that pop out, e.g., foods, locations, pop culture, etc. Be careful; sometimes two words may look related but may not be the case. With the elimination method, keep narrowing down words that fit and that don't fit. Make use of shuffle to refresh the grid. It often reveals a connection hidden in plain sight.
