The New York Times Connections puzzles are engaging for word lovers due to their twists and turns. The game tests logic and vocabulary with 16 words to be sorted into four categories. Each group shares a hidden connection, while players think critically, racing against four attempts. The charm remains intact with a new puzzle every midnight.
For success in Connections, the player needs to recognize patterns and strategize guesses. Identify three words that potentially go together; find the missing fourth one. The colors give hints: the color yellow is used for the easiest answer, while purple is often a challenge. Being open-minded and exploring various meanings of the words increases the chances of working out the puzzle.
The entertaining word puzzle is free of cost on The New York Times website and mobile applications. Players can assess their linguistic prowess daily, be it through a desktop or simply an app.
