What is the NYT Connections Game?
NYT Connections is a daily word puzzle from The New York Times. You are presented with 16 words and asked to group them into four sets of four. Each set has a common theme. The connections are hidden behind clever puns, wordplay, or even cultural references. Each group has its own difficulty level: yellow (easiest), blue (moderately easy), green (moderately difficult), and purple (trickiest).
How to Play the NYT Connections Puzzle
The goal of the NYT Connections puzzle is simple: group 16 words into four sets of four. Once you think you have closed a group, lock it in and see if you are right. If you are wrong, you will lose one of your only four chances. But here's a tip: when in doubt, hit shuffle. Sometimes a new arrangement can help.
Best Strategies to Solve NYT Connections Puzzles
Start by scanning for the most obvious groups, things like food, animals, art, music, etc. Once you level up from the easy ones, the more challenging categories start to reveal themselves. And don't forget to hit shuffle when stuck or step away for a quick break.
