NYT Connections has quickly become a favorite among word game enthusiasts. The game, developed by The New York Times’ associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu, tests players' ability to group words based on a shared theme.
Each game presents 16 words that must be sorted into four distinct categories. Some words might seem to fit in multiple groups, but only one correct combination exists.
The game offers four color-coded difficulty levels:
Yellow: The easiest category.
Green: A moderate challenge.
Blue: Requires deeper thought.
Purple: The trickiest category.
Players can shuffle the words for a fresh perspective. Making a correct group removes those words from the board, while incorrect guesses count as mistakes. After four mistakes, the game ends.
