How Connections works
Connections gives you 16 words to sort into four groups of four that share a connection. The New York Times says its editors curate category labels using the Oxford Dictionary. The colors indicate difficulty, from Yellow (easiest) through Green and Blue to Purple (trickiest); words may seem to fit more than one group.
