How Connections works
Connections gives players 16 words to sort into four groups of four that share a theme. The New York Times Help Center says the categories are color-coded, with yellow the easiest and purple the trickiest. It also notes: “Each puzzle has exactly one solution and is meant to be tricky by having words that could fit into multiple categories.” Read the NYT Help Center’s Connections guidance.
