NYT Connections is a challenging daily puzzle game that offers players a set of 16 words to arrange into four themed sets.
The theme presents four distinct themes every day, without any connection between them.
It tests vocabulary skills by requiring players to discover hidden links without the themes initially stated.
The December 4 edition of NYT Connections has brought an engaging blend of logic, language, and cleverness together to make it challenging and fun at the same time. The challenge for today involves practical thinking on a wide range of themes, which keeps the players alert from the beginning.
Apparently, when you look at the puzzle grid, you will see a bunch of random words without any connection. However, a closer look will reveal that four of these words are somehow connected to a particular theme. Sometimes the puzzle creates a catch- a few words fit more than one theme.
NYT Connections is the daily puzzle section of The New York Times, which is very popular amongst its readers. Each color indicates a different level of difficulty: yellow for the easiest and purple for the hardest.
Puzzlers must think outside the box, identifying connections that might include categories, word associations, or even prefixes and suffixes. A single incorrect assumption has the potential to change the whole puzzle's direction.
