How to play or revisit the puzzle
NYT says Connections is free to play without registration, and a new puzzle releases at midnight in the player’s timezone. Its editors curate puzzles using the Oxford Dictionary; the game is designed with one solution even though words may seem to fit more than one category. See the NYT Connections Help Center for current gameplay information.
