What is Connections?
Connections is a popular daily word puzzle game from The New York Times. Players are presented with a 4x4 grid of 16 words and must group them into four distinct categories of four words each. These categories can range from synonyms and idioms to pop culture references and wordplay. The challenge lies in identifying the sometimes subtle connections between words, making it a brain-teasing exercise in lateral thinking and vocabulary skills. With its color-coded difficulty levels and daily updates, Connections has quickly become a favorite among word game enthusiasts looking for a fresh challenge beyond the classic Wordle format.
