How Connections works
Connections asks players to sort sixteen words into four groups. Forbes describes the categories as color-coded by difficulty and says players lose after four mistakes. It also reports that an NYT Games subscription provides access to past puzzle archives; subscription terms can change. Read Erik Kain’s Forbes column for that game context and his personal reaction to this puzzle.
