How Connections works
The New York Times Help Center explains that players sort 16 words into four groups of four. The groups are color-coded by difficulty, from Yellow (easiest) to Purple (trickiest); each puzzle has exactly one solution, though apparent overlaps between words can make the groupings challenging. The words and categories are curated by editors using the Oxford Dictionary. NYT Help Center: Connections.
